My only concern is what gay marriage could potentially do to the traditional definition of marriage. There is not enough evidence to prove that gay couples raising kids can do it in as stable a fashion as straight couples.
There could be a blurring of the defined sexual identities and a diminishing of the concept of lifelong commitment. Emotional bonding, critical to all human relationship, is also not given a priority. The concept of sexual purity, a critical fiber in the weave of lifelong commitment, is not given as important of a place. Marriage becomes falls short of its intent and potential and becomes little more than a convenient and loosely defined union. The result would be co-habitation and short-term relationships void of the potential for the common good.
Thats right, straight from my poli essay.
