I think is a pretty contentious point. Many homosexual couple who have children would probably argue that they're damn fine parents. The fact that most of us were raised in heterosexual households (obviously) probably heavily predisposes us to believing that a married man and woman are the best way to go. Though, if you haven't experienced growing up in a homosexual household, you probably can't comment on its quality.
My best friend when I was younger had lesbian parents. They were both very successful professionals, and now he's a successful and well-rounded artist. I don't see how he was tainted or ruined by lacking a heterosexual heritage/household.

No, marriage doesn't guarantee that, but at at least makes them think it over when they say the vows.

Well... you said that marriage has something to do with ensuring the future of the human race. I don't see how marriage has anything to do with it. There was probably a time when the modern institution of marriage was centuries away, and people seemed to get by fine without saying religiously-oriented vows (ie they were able to procreate with zeal).
