The California Supreme Court abolished the state’s same-sex marriage ban in May, sparking public celebration in some places and angry protest in others. Now some critics of same-sex marriage are fighting back with an initiative to reinstate the ban, leaving voters once again divided. Should marriage remain between a man and a woman, or is it time to widen the aisle for same-sex couples? (Editor's Note: On November 4th, California voters passed Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage.)

Redefining Marriage Undermines the Family Structure Best for Children
your evidence
I have read what you presented as evidence on an argument that marriage between a man and woman is the only thing that should be allowed when children are involved hence hinting that homosexual couples should not adopt or be allowed to raise children. Bogus. Bogus. Bogus.
There was no mention of abused children in your evidence, nor any mention of children being raised by drug addict, or criminal parents. How then can those marriages benefit a child?
To imply that heterosexual relationships and marriages are the only way to raise children was touted as being biological parents only. So that does not allow for non biological married couples to raise any one's child other than their own. Hence your own argument prohibits opposite sex couples from adopting any child also.
The best interest of the child should be taken in to consideration is true. And it is also true that Homosexual couples children face a world of discrimination, hardship, hate, bigotry, and the cause is by people like you. Those who preach just those values as above. To say to a child that their parents are abnormal, should go to jail, are sinners, etc is hate at its finest. It is the leading cause of children in same sex marriage or unions or family's to have a need of mental health care later in life. To allow same sex marriage, or unions should be excepted by all persons who value the need of children in the world. To argue that same sex persons are looking to sexually abuse the child is a bogus arguement also as it is a proven fact that 98% of all child abuse cases are done by heterosexual persons and mostly by family members of the child in the first place. So 2 % are gay, the rest were not. Another hole in your arguments, by focus on the family. To spout off non facts, or lies will only hurt Focus on the family in the long run when people find the truth in these matters. My mother all ways taught me that you get more flys with sugar then vinegar and that is true here also. Telling the truth will gain you more then the lies you are telling now. To use a religion to hide behind is also bogus lies. No where in the gospels does it prohibit or condemn homosexuality, only in the old testament does it do so. However it also allows for selling our children into slavery, stoning people for eating shrimp and more. So to use the religious argument is totally bogus.
Thank you for your time.
