Alright, you must not have been reading things clearly.
1. We'd have to change the definition of centuries of non-gay marriage.
2. The proper family would be gone.
3. We would have to allow triads, and 4-somes, and 5-somes, and so where does it end?

1. What the hell do you mean? If you change that definition, so what? Will it hurt you or something? SO WHAT? It's been the definition for a LONG time! It would NOT be good to change it!

Why would changing a definition be bad? I dont understand that concept.

2. �the proper family`, what does that mean? A married couple with 12 children, he working himself to death, she taking care of the children and being bored to death? There are already so many married couples without children, so what�s your point?
The "proper family" does NOT mean 12 children, for cripse sake! The proper family is a mom and a dad and a child--NOT two moms and two dads.

Proper is a relative term, somethings are "proper" to some people and not to others. This argument is pointless because there isnt a conclusion that everyone can agree upon (its too relative). Personally i dont believe in the idea of a "Proper Family." To me its just this term created by a nervous public to feel more patriotic during the "communist scare."

Ok, sorry about the religious nonsense phrase, it wasn�t meant as an attack. please forgive me
