Gay Marriage Debate: Are the Points Clear?

The debate exploring family rights for homosexual parents continues. While society could concede the argument over marriage, how does society address parental rights for homosexual parents?

Understandably homosexual couples, individuals and their supporters think that marriage is a given for any two people in love or passion. Marriage, in the long lost traditional sense, is really a union between man and woman. Even the alternative lifestyles of the politicians in Rome didn't tax democracy with demoting such a sacred union. They accepted their passion for other men as a private fetish even if in love it was not public prerogative let alone issue for political podium.

These days not too much of anything is sacred and marriage has become an economic contract that tends to end one sided. So generically speaking based on marriage's contemporary practice, I don't see the point of denying gay men the right to marry. If they want that type of responsibility it is their right - marriage is between two people. There's no debate that companionship is a human right.

Now enters the topic of parenting: If two men will rally for their right to marry it may be inevitable that they will want to be parents. This demand is not an issue of two adults shacking up. There are serious social implications to this request. What is really interesting is that gay men in their quest for a civil right era do not care about the child who they want to subject to their way of life- homosexuality.

I want to be clear: I am open to debate and I am more concerned with children being mentored and raised than I am concerned about the traditional parent structure. It seems that heterosexuals want more freedom and homosexuals want more rights. The latter seeming more progressive, however, good missions get easily adulterated with ego and in the end cause more harm.

Why should gay men be allowed to parent children? Why would a responsible judge give a female child to two men? Should gay parents only parent child who have proclaimed themselves gay-what age is appropriate identity?
