I understand your perspective. But I have also seen many hetrosexual relationships in exactly the same boat. And your comments on homosexual couples raising children is very hurtful. I'm have been in a Civil Union with my wife for over one year now. (a Civil Union is a agreement similar to the marriage agreement.) Are you aware how difficult it is for a homosexual couple to have a child. Lesbians have to go through months of tests to find out if they are physically able to carry children before the health system will even consider putting them on the list for the few procedures available for AI. There is also the mine field of finding donars. Then there is the heart ache of each attempt that doesn't work, plus the thousands of dollars forked out for these procedures. I understand that many heterosexual couples go through similar conception problems. Please understand that we walked into our 'marriage' knowing the heartache and the struggles we would go through before we were blessed with a child. Anyone that has been through it would understand that its not a choice made lightly. So please consider the possibility that you have only encountered the immature stereotypical "gay scene" gays. and not the rest of us that just want to live a normal life with our partners.
