Marriages and Unions, Part 2

I was greatly disappointed in the passing of propositions that banned gay marriage, like that of Proposition 8 in California. Gay marriage isn't going to ruin the sanctity of marriage... straight people did that a long time ago. The fact that the gay couple next door is married shouldn't affect your marriage, but then wait, don't we like to blame everything but ourselves for failed marriages?
Gay marriage isn't going to ruin children's lives. When you see a straight couple raising a wonderful family, how do you know they are married, divorced, etc.? If the children are happy and healthy does it matter? Sure it helps that men and women raise children, but are not friends, family, society as a whole raising each and every child? If we cared so much about children being raised by both men and women, why are there so many single parents out there? Because straight people can be lousy parents just as much as gay people can.
Just some thoughts from a cat whose vote doesn't count, but whose voice might.
