SO. MUCH. STUPID. My brain is bleeding from it now.
I fail to see that two people with the same plumbing getting married is more of a threat to the sanctity of the institution than say, Britney Spears' first 55-hour marriage. Given that the het divorce rate is hovering around 50% for first marriages and worse for remarriages (especially with stepkids involved), I really don't think that gays and lesbians could possibly do a whole lot worse.
The "divorced gays won't provide for their exes/children"--ask any divorced parent whose ex is late/missing with the child support on a regular basis and they'll tell you that walking out on financial obligations happens plenty in het relationships too.
