"but your traditional marriage is a result of your traditions. You can't pretend that all marriages fit your definition of traditional and you can't pretend to know what's best for individuals or society in general based on your traditions. Besides, what makes your traditions so much more useful than anyone else's so that you feel the need to force all others to conform to your definition of what marriage should be."
My traditions? Marriage being exclusive between a man and a woman are a result of MY traditions, and i am forcing them on society as a whole. This is what marriage has meant since it's inception, everywhere (at least to my knowledge). I'm not forcing them on anyone, to the contrary it appears gay people are forcing themselves on everyone else.
And what do we have this traditional marriage to compare to to date. Single parent homes? what else? I think the statistics/evidence is enough to prove which is a better environment for children. Therefore I think that this burden falls on you:
"Until you can provide some kind of proof as to the unquestioned superiority of the nuclear family in terms of child rearing, don't use that as a basis for your argument."
....what do you mean, you can't PROVE that there won't be some negative impact to on society/children (whichever), then that shouldn't be the basis of your argument.
