re: How are people supposed to explain gay marriage to their kids?

There are other animals that has males frick other males, some even w/ children. Just b/c you can't reproduce doesn't mean it isn't meant to have happen in nature.

The bonobo monkeys are a great example of this as they have sex when they meet like one would shake a hand. Just like when you shake a hand it lasts a few secs, the bonobos humps the others for a few seconds while gazing deeply into each others eyes.

At the end of the day marriage is supposed to be about love, and if two people (hell 3 or more people) love each other and want to get married, then let them. I love how christians want to believe that marriage is only a christian thing, but it is not. If you want marriage to keep its purity, then the divorce rate of hetero's need to be vastly reduced before you start worrying about if two people of the same sex want to spend the rest of their life committed to each other.
