There are a lot of things that threaten marriage and marriages. Some of the most pernicious threats include:

Poverty
Domestic violence
Alcoholism
Drug abuse
Juvenile delinquency
Mental illness

Straight people are threatening marriage far more than the 3 to 4% of the population that are homosexual ever could.

Homosexuals have precisely the same right to marry as anyone else. Marriage is the bringing together of the two sexes. That is the whole point. To enter marriage, you must meet its qualifications. Any attempt to get around the rules that everyone else plays by is an attempt to have special rights, not equal rights. Eliminating an entire sex from the picture and then calling it “marriage” is not a mere expansion of an institution, but rather the destruction of a principle

Homosexuals celebrate a marriage between a man and a woman. They were all born into the heart of the heterosexual family and love their mothers and fathers. Gays seek to take away no one’s right to marry; they only ask that those of them who are gay, through no choice of their own, be allowed the same opportunity

We do not seek equality in marriage because we despise the institution of marriage - but because we believe in it and cherish it and want to support it. People ask us why we want marriage, but the answer is obvious. It is the same reason that anyone would want marriage. After the crushes and passions of adolescence, some of us are lucky enough to meet the person we truly love. And we want to commit to that person in front of our family and country for the rest of our lives. It’s the most natural, the most simple, the most human instinct in the world.

How can someone outside your marriage destroy it? If marriage is so special and sacred, why is divorce legal?
If you really want to preserve marriage as an religious institution and exclude all other people, fine. But when you want to exclude homosexuals from making legal contracts, then your religion is trying to subjugate civil law. No one is trying to force any religion into accepting gay marriage.

NOOOOOOOO! This is a dumb question. People destroy their own marriages. In Massachusetts (where one can have a legal, same sex marriage)... if marriages fell apart (gay ones), should we blame the heterosexuals?? People are not taking enough responsibility for their own behavior. That's what they should be doing a study about. Sorry you have to do this crappy work!

I don't think they have any intention to destroy actual marriage. The idea of same-sex 'marriage' damages the concept of marriage, not least by opening it up to other 'alternative' arrangements. Again, this is not intentional - in fact most gays are in complete denial about it because they want their 'rights' more than they care about the effects on society. None of which is to say we couldn't survive such changes, but it would fundamentally change our culture.

Why worry about homosexuals destroying marriages when there are millions of people having affairs that do that anyway?

And this study came from some right wing neo-Christian religious group by any chance?

That's a bit like saying all hetrosexuals go out at night and axe murder homosexuals in a bid to stop them corrupting their kids! Whoever sent you that - get them seen by a psychologist, quick!!

There is a difference between teaching tolerance of people . . . And asking kids to accept certain behaviour. Schools shouldn’t be in the business of forcing children to accept lifestyles that the majority don’t respect.
