Kids are also quite apt to learn intolerance from their parents too. That being said, i think you'll have a difficult time finding any solid evidence that having gay parents damages the morality of a child.

Most children have walked in on their parents having sex or seen their mom and dad exchanging affection in different ways. Children realize that it is natural for a man and a woman to do these things and in turn eventually do these same things, producing children of their own.

I guess you're implying that a child with homosexual parents will never be able to realize that reproduction requires sperm and an egg because said child will walk in on daddies or mommies having sex. Stunning. I never walked in on my parents, yet i think i know where babies come from. Maybe i just lack your expertise when it comes to childhood development and sexuality.

Homosexuals do not produce children. Nature has decided that it takes a man and a woman to produce a child, but we think we know better. Imagine what would happen if children didn't realize that they're supposed to marry someone of the opposite sex. We'd eventually face an extinction as a species, because guys can probably get a lot more sex from each other than from girls, and girls can get a lot more emotional support from other girls.

Homosexuals do produce children. I am aware of many people with gay daddies. I am also aware of sperm banks and fertility doctors. Both are as natural as a birds nest, so don't try to claim that it isn't natural. Nature decided that it takes sperm and an egg to produce children. It cares not about a man and a women.
Are you really attempting to imply that the broad acceptance of homosexual marriage will result in our extinction as a species? Because children won't realize how to reproduce?

Did you ever wonder why the Greeks and Romans are no longer a dominant force in the world and faced a collapse of their entire civilization? It's the same thing, history repeating itself and all that.

I suppose the aztecs were a bunch of homos too. Atlantis? It was really a giant gay resort that was sunk by some kind of gayness.
