I think this is more of a personal argument, rather than a legally defendable one, but it is one reason why I oppose gay marriage which has not yet been brought up.

Which is why it is really easy to argue against. Rather than wanting the most fulfilling lives for your children you'd rather have them adopt the sexuality of your choice for your benefit. That is very selfish, and definitely not legally defendable.
The questions that go along with this are - why is it so important for your children to have children? Why do you think that accepting homosexuality will greatly, significantly, or even minutely decrease your chance of having grandchildren? Does removing a stigma truly increase the chances that someone will be gay - or just openly gay? Is it not true that gay couples can have children (with help from others), and, in fact, it would be easier for gay couples to have this kind of help in a society that supports them?
There are many reasons that people have or do not have children, if I have children I will not be upset if they choose to not have children of their own. In fact, there are so many children out there who have no parents of their own, I see adoption as one of the most noble and necessary options out there and if my children chose adoption I would be proud of them.
