One of the goofier arguments in favor of the gay marriage ban is the argument that allowing gay marriage will somehow damage the “institution of marriage”, because, you know, the hetero community has been doing such a stellar job of protecting the institution while it’s been restricted to them. You have to wonder, at some point, why such people shrug at Britney Spears getting married repeatedly along with the Hollywood types, half of Congress and at least 2 presidents cheating on their wives, etc…but the *gays* getting married, that’ll really screw things up! Arguing that *any* heterosexual relationship, by its nature of one-woman-one-man, will provide a better environment for children than two people of the same gender is similarly silly. If you really think that, you obviously don’t read the paper, don’t watch the news on TV, and don’t get out much. There are any number of heterosexual marriages where the children get verbally, physically, and psychologically abused in various horrible ways…to assume that all gay marriages will be *worse* than this is downright stupid, and defies logic.
