All marriage is unnatural.
Granting homosexuals equal marriage rights will not in any way affect heterosexuals or their marriages, and won't turn the institution upside down.

A homosexual marriage can be a productive and functional family situation. Mine certainly is, as is that of my sister-in-law and her wife.

A homosexual "marriage" will never have the stability of a natural, heterosexual one.

Setting aside for a moment that there's no such thing as a "natural" marriage, why do you say this? I've been married four years and in a stable relationship with my wife for five. I know a good number of gay couples in long term stable relationships.

You can spin all the statistics and celebrity couples you like, the differences in men and women are purposeful and no amount of put on feminine and masculine homosexual enthusiasm can imitate that.

I'm trying to respond to this, but I can't seem to understand the point you're trying to make. If it's about gender roles, most of the homosexual couples I know don't adopt traditional gender roles within the marriage, or attempt to emulate the masculine-feminine dynamic that you seem to be implying. My wife and I are both femme. We're mostly just trying to be who we are and find a mode of expression that fits us as a person and a balance within the marriage that fits us as a couple. I imagine that's what most heterosexual individuals and couples do.

You're wrong on both points. We don't want special rights, we want the same rights as heterosexuals. Extending civil marriage to homosexuals won't change anything about it for those in or entering heterosexual marriages.
