there's no real problem for same sex couples with marriage. people would get used to it.
the problem is for any kids involved. it's like mixed race marriages - it's all cool for mum and dad, but the kids often end up accepted by neither race of their parents (sad but true) and not feeling like they fit comfortably into any racial 'family' group. they get called coconuts and all sort of other put down stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
same sort of thing for kids with a gay couple as 'parents'. the other kids tease them, and they can feel confused about where they're supposed to fit in. if they're in San Francisco maybe they're Ok. many other places they're gunna hit trouble and attitudes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
some kids from same sex 'families' will be OK, but others won't - same as many mixed race kids don't feel the hassles but others do. it's not as simple as "is it fair". it might eventually be all cool for the kids, but it isn't yet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
