i think the problem is children. being married means that (if it wasnt already) it allows these couples to adopt kids. i do not agree with this in any form.
the typical point people raise in trying to debate this is..'is it any better then a single mother, or a father who is a drunk?' yadaya...the answer is maybe it is, maybe it isnt. however, two wrongs dont make a right, and in my opinion having two daddys is an automatic disadvantage to any child. imagine going to school and having your mommy's or your daddys going to parent teacher interviews. i have a hard time beleiving that a child could grow up normally having these extra pressures placed on them.
not only that, but i think it would also sckew a childs perception of what a normal family should be. granted, many children are not afford this anymore, but it goes back to the points made before.

Do you have any statistics to back this up, or is this all speculation?
