closePeople with homosexuality already have the same right as people with heterosexuality; they, too, can marry someone of the opposite sex. Furthermore, current law allows the important hospital visits and certain other contractual rights associated with marriage. Society recognizes a heterosexual marriage because it benefits society; heterosexuality is the only way children can be created, and heterosexual marriage is the only way they can enjoy the all-important security of having a father and a mother. Besides security (which has been proved statistically), the mother and father help to make the child familiar with masculinity and femininity. Divorce has hurt marriage and placed great difficulties on children and parents in single-parent homes, but that's an argument against divorce, not an argument for children being raised without a mother and a father. In fact, it's just another argument for traditional marriage.
As for the gay gene that the media tells us scientists have found, apparently they've lost it, because they've never found it with peer-reviewed research.
