27% of Children live with a single parent.
32% of Children have parents who have been divorced.
The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%
The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%

The traditional family was destroyed by straight people. Now we have new types of families appearing that are loving and nurturing.

The religion and feeling argument against gay marriage is logically similar to the following:
"Of course, love and care are only acceptable if they are done the way as described in my religion or to my taste."

The traditional family was destroyed by drugs and the "free love" movement, now it's trying to rebuild and it's bitch ass "scientific" studies that are getting in the way of that. You're quoting all those figures, but I could just as easily say:

73%(minus orphans) of Children live with both parent.
68% of Children have parents who have not been divorced.
The divorce rate in America goes up as the sanctity of marriage is taken more and more lightly.

That's what you say.  However the sociological research and evidence say another thing.

I tend to believe social scientists over forum posters.

and I tend to believe that people who believe that social scientists have facts need to take a look in the mirror if they ever think that their convictions are any more valid than people who believe in religion.
