5. My issue with letter #1: it ignores reality.
Does this writer actually believe that legislating against same-sex marriage will make more people straight and married?

Worse, what good does this do for the actual children of actual GLBT families? Can they make their parents become traditional nuclear families? How does this help a kid who's had to learn what a "right to work" state is at age 8 or knows to be extra-careful when out for the day with the non-biological parent?

If "Children need a mother and a father who are married to each other and who love each other and are committed to their family and their children to form a stable home," should we, the children of GLBT families, believe that our moms and dads are wrong or bad or selfish for not providing that for us?

Seriously, fuck that.
