LGBT Marriage in California

I was reading an article about the fact that California is allowing gay marriage, and it struck me that one opponent's argument, at least in this article, was that California shouldn't be contributing to the disintegration of family.

While I am very much a heterosexual, I believe that it is ignorant to say that allowing gay marriage is disintegrating the idea of family. If anything, allowing gay marriages allows more people to legally create families. These are the same people who would tell you that black people are ignorant, or that mexicans are lazy and don't contribute to the economy.

The disintegration of family has already begun under the system that only recognizes heterosexual unions legally. I find that most LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) are very open, tolerant people because of the understanding and experience they have with intolerance. Also, it's been shown that children of LGBT families are no more gay, affected, or depressed than those of heterosexual families. The LGBT community has also become, when allowed, a great resource for orphans and foster children because of their inability to procreate. The biological ability to love and nurture is still there and a great advantage. Where the abandoned children in question are more likely to have come from where? Heterosexual couples.

I saw a documentary where a gay male couple in the process of adoption were throughly screened, and he commented, "All a straight person has to do is get laid one time to have a child, and here I am fighting for one." My point is that heterosexuals are no more qualified to get married or have children than any gay person.
