That article was pathetic. The argument rests on an assumption that because marriages are not as stable or frequent in countries that have gay marriage, gay marriage must be the cause. There's a big difference between correlation and causality.

"Marriage is being separated from parenthood." So fucking what? The idea that parents have to be married or that a married couple has to produce children is a cultural construct to begin with. Granted, there are advantages to raising a child in such an environment, but there seems to be an implication here that marriage serves no other function than to produce children. Gee, sounds like you could build a pretty strong case for polygamy out of that rationale. Similarly, should we prohibit infertile couples from getting married? Should we force divorces on marriages that remain childless?

And really, Ronnie, is it the government's job to make sure that everyone is happily married?
