Gay+Gay: Those who would deny same-sex marriage are hateful.
Man+Woman: No, we don't hate anybody, we love and care about everyone, especially the weakest and most vulnerable among us, that is, children.
Gay+Gay: Those who would deny same-sex marriage are advocating a tyranny of the majority.
Man+Woman: No, we are looking out for the powerless, that is children.
Gays: That those who would deny same-sex marriage are violating the separation of church and state.
Man+Woman: No, the belief that a child deserves to start life with a mother and father is not a religious belief, it is a belief that arises from rational intuition, otherwise known as common sense. Multitudes of secular people hold it and have overwhelming so through history over a broad swatch of cultures.
Gay+Gay: That those who would deny same-sex marriage are violating the human rights of a whole class of individuals, that is homosexuals.
Man+Woman: What gays are demanding would violate the human rights of a whole class of individuals, that is children.
Gay+Gay: That those who would deny same-sex marriage are primarily concerned that their marriages will be at risk.
Man+Woman: No, we are primarily concerned that children will be disadvantaged. With legalized same-sex marriage, no adoption agency will be allowed to discriminate in favor of heterosexual parents, meaning many more children will be consigned to that deprivation than are currently.
Gay+Gay: That those who would deny same-sex marriage don't care about the feelings of homosexuals.
Answer: We care a great deal about their feelings. But we care more about the needs of children than the feelings of adults.
Gay+Gay: That those who would deny same-sex marriage can't stand to see gays living in joy and life-long commitment with their partners.
Man+Woman: We are happy to see gays live in joy and life-long commitment to whomever they please. Just don't ask the state to call it marriage, because doing so would greatly increase the numbers of children whose basic human right to a mother and a father will be denied.
Unfortunately for you, this is not based in reality. Children do just as well with gay couples as they do with straight. Therefore, what you wrote above is irrelevant.
