The first is your assertion, the second is a fact that you concede in this post. The logical conclusion is that same-sex couples should be permitted to legally marry because they can meet the "raising children" condition.
Great, but can and should are two very different things. Children thrive when there is one mom and one dad, not one mom or one dad, or two moms or two dads, ot one top or one bottom. Its really that simple. Can homosexuals raise children? PRobably, but its about the kids and not the parents
