I would agree with you, *except* that the union of a man and a woman in 
what we call marriage is what forms the foundation of society -- it is 
not merely incidental to society.  A husband and a wife in a healthy, 
covenant relationship raising children is how we get healthy, 
well-balanced people.  As such, it's in the people's (and by extension, 
the government's) interest to support and promote heterosexual marriage.

Unfortunately, heterosexual marriage is in such disrepair in our country 
that its proponents don't have much of a leg to stand on in the fight 
against officially sanctioned homosexual marriage.  Still, homosexuals 
are imperfect human beings like the rest of us, and giving them "a shot" 
at marriage won't improve the institution any.
