I have an older cousin who is gay. He has been with his life partner for about 30 years now. They both pay income tax, they pay property taxes, they do community service work. My cousin is high up in Revenue Canada and he volunteers by doing the income tax of low income individuals, his partner is a nurse who volunteers as a respite worker (he will go and stay a day or two at a home of a family that has a disabled child do they can go away and take a break once in a while).
So anyways, they are both in love, both great members of society and a hell of a lot happier than most. They travel extensively and are more "married" than most married people I know. So I have NO PROBLEM with two individuals that love each other getting married. What gender they happen to be is not important either, and if they want to raise a child, more power to them.
