I never understood this. It must come from a position of complete ignorance. I imagine these same people haven't actually met gay couples, let alone gay
families.
As someone who has, I will tell you, gay marriage will only enrich the institution of marriage. This is because it leads to the inclusion of families that have been (or were) otherwise shut out based on sexual orientation.
If you ask me, the opposition to and the barring of gay marriage is an assault on the the concept of family.
