I don't understand why folks who aren't involved in a marriage think that it is any less valid than any other. "Because that's the way it's always been" seems like a particularly lazy excuse since slavery, facial hair requirements and unreversable sworn loyalty to a superior (regardless of their competency) all have died out in Western society, and they're all examples of "the way it is." Of course, those against gay marriage also tend to be those who want to keep folks from buying sex toys or alcohol at random times or making sure that none of their precisious snowflakes ever learn to think for themselves.
Then again, my kids have at least 4 friends being raised by same-sex couples, and they're all great parents.
