Here's my response...

A Question of morality you say? Absolutely. It is immoral for one group to deny rights to another. Just as it was immoral to kick Native Americans out of their land and put them in reservations.

Traditional family values, you say? Let's take a look at what they're defending. The traditional institution of marriage is falling apart due to various conditions. And rather than trying to fix it by outlawing divorce (because it is profitable after all) and discouraging single parent households, the simple solution is to attack another group who is trying to make a family though not with the same criteria. I'm all for traditional families. I was raised in one myself. But don't discount other families simply because you can't fix the problems of your own marriage. Otherwise, how is society supposed to look up to traditional marriage, if it's guaranteed only a 50/50 chance.
