A reason homosexual marriages will only add to the social problems.

From the article above, 
"...According to 2000 census data, the rate of married households in the
United States declined by nearly 30 percent since 1950. Married couples
now make up an estimated 50 percent of households. 
Meanwhile, the number of unmarried partners living together has risen
from 523,000 in 1970 to approximately 4.9 million in 2000. 
Nearly one-third of all children today are born outside of marriage, and
more than half of U.S. children will spend all or part of their
childhood in a broken family, according to statistics. 
The percentage of children living with mothers who have never married
increased to 36 percent in 1996 from 7 percent in 1970, said Mary Parke,
a researcher at the Center for Law and Social Policy. 
Rector added that a child raised by a mother who has never married is
seven times more likely to live in poverty than a child raised by his
biological parents in an intact marriage. ..."

Since a homosexual couple can not have biological parents what does this
say about children raised in such an environment?  The kids don't have
much of a chance.  The same goes for children raised by a single parent.
