Putting out Fires

I cannot tell you how much this enrages me:

Of all of the arguments against gay marriage, ‘Breakdown of the Family’ is the most ridiculous.  And that’s saying a lot as most of the arguments hit the ridiculous level.  Why don’t we concentrate on constitutional ammendments against battering wives?  Or cheating on spouses?  Now THAT is a breakdown of family.

To say that bringing into fruition the marriage between two people who love and respect each other is a ‘breakdown of the family’ makes absolutely no sense.  And PLEASE tell me why these people feel they need to make it their business what other people do.  No one is harming you, so leave them alone.  And who are you to judge what makes another person’s actions unfit or morally wrong?

And as a side note on ‘families’:  I would MUCH rather have a loving stable gay couple raising children than some of the people out there.  Its disgusting that a couple who would make wonderful, nurturing parents would be denied the opportunity to raise children, and couples with no other qualifications other than their anatomy are allowed to raise 12 neglected in an unfit environment.
