What they haven't established is why the two parents can't be the same sex. In the Sutherland Institute's "Resolution on The Natural Family", they make an enormous illogical jump from "two married traditional parents are good" to "two married non-traditional parents are bad". So, if someone (like the American Academy of Pediatrics) released a study saying children raised by gay parents are no worse off than children raised by heterosexual parents, would that change anyone's mind at the Sutherland Institute? (see http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/full/118/1/349) The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees that marriage is good for families. What they also find is that the only real detriment to kids being raised by homosexual parents is they get teased more. If expanding marriage rights to gay couples is beneficial to kids, then why oppose it? There seems to be more than empirical data driving the anti gay marriage movement.
