I support civil unions, but not full gay marriage (Due to a desire to maintain an institution that has been here since the beginning of creation (heterosexual marriage), concerns that it may eventually lead to legalization of polygamy, and to a lesser extent, concerns over whether kids are truly raised equally as well by gay couples as they would by straight couples with similar income and intelligence.).
But the fact is that this is relatively unimportant when compared with other issues, and the federal government and the courts have better things to do then try to either legalize it nationwide OR outlaw it nationwide, so the best solution is just to leave it up to the states. Liberal States should be able to allow it, Conservative States should be able to prohibit it, and it should be left up to the legislatures and voters within those states, not whatever activist judge happens to live nearby.
There is actually evidence that
gay people raise their kids even better than straight parents.
