The gay marriage issue is not about children. In a lot of places gays can already adopt children, and offcourse there is no way to stop people (especially lesbians) just having their own kids.

Gays have always existed in the jungle, so it's a moot point.

Just make it the same as the rights of straight couples, there done. easy. no need to wonder how super will be handled.

Not really, because they already have those rights, and its a separate topic anyway.

Your opinion may or may not be based on bigotry, hence why I am trying to drill down to the nuts and bolts reasoning people have against it.

As it turns out no one is really willing to share the reasoning, except for spewing out loose ideas about it being bad for children (which is a red herring), or it is infringing their religious rights (which it doesn't) or some version of a fear of a slippery slope eg, people will marry dogs next (which is a logical fallacy) or some sort of claim about "we'll if we were all gay, there would be no breeding" (which is just a silly thing to say when discussing gay rights)
