We, the normal people don’t want the government sanctioning the breakdown of the concept of a normal marriage. Like I wrote earlier, they can get their visitation and inheritance rights without doing this. The only reason they are being so vociferous about it is to make US teach OUR kids that our own values aren’t true.
