I am quite certain that a same-sex marriage is perfectly capable of providing a stable environment, though it is my thought you didn't mean to infer otherwise.
I think same-sex marriage is fine, I see no reason in denying the joys of marriage to gay couples. Many of the people I have spoken with who DO have a problem with it (including my mother) would rather it not be called a marriage but a union of some sort. She's rather religious and believes that marriage is a religious thing. I can understand that point, but it's rather nit-picky IMHO.
Marriage is not the property of the Christian religion. Every religion uses it, even religions Christianity doesn't much care for. Should they, then, not be allowed to get married?
