Imagine if the whole country were gay, then suddenly about 1.8% of the population became straight and started demanding that all the gays change everything that has been in place for hundreds of years. What do you think would happen? Come on people.
Only "spiritual" marriage is the correct marriage where the purpose of marriage is producing healthy children for sustaining a wholesome and just society.
where the purpose of marriage is producing healthy children
Raising a child is hard no matter what. Do you understand the concept of extended families? Grandparents? Uncles? Aunts?
Consider this - a union of woman with woman will find it hard to raise a male child. Similarly a union of man and man will find it hard to raise a female child. There are many things which transfer from man to male child and woman to female child.
I agree. I don't agree that a same sex couple cannot provide "significant" nurturing. I don't agree that a same sex couple does not constitute a family.
Although a child learns from society and from school, the contribution of family remains significant.
Does something about homosexuality preclude the formation of such a bond? Or do think that there is something inherently immoral or emotionally lacking about homosexuals? Do you think that heterosexual couples are automatically better morally and emotionally qualified? Do you think that because of their sexual orientation homosexuals should be denied the opportunity to raise children? Do you think that the children of such a family have no chance of becoming happy, well adjusted, successful human beings? Do you, by any chance, know of any cases where this may have occurred or is it an impossibility?
The bond between parents and child is a lifelong bond and is very important in the moral and emotional development of a person.

See what I'm trying to bring up is the degredation of the original accepted western institution of marriage.
