Making gay marriage legal, and give these marriage rights as traditional families will have a negative impact to society but especially to children.
For five thousand years the overwhelming majority of the civilized world has defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. And now, the family as we know it is about to end. Family is no longer the union of a mother, a father, and their children. Now, by San Francisco's Mayor unilateral decision, family is the union by a first and a second applicant. There are no more bride and groom spaces in marriage applications. Now it is a space for first applicant and another for the second applicant.
It has been established that children do best emotionally, academically, and physically in husband - wife households. Now, there are times when a mom or dad is absent because of divorce or death, but that is not an intentional attempt to deny children of either parent.

Crowd in support of Gay MarriageGay households, on the other hand, intentionally deprive children of a same- or opposite-sex role model, trivializing the contributions of a mother and father.
And example cited by David Zweibel taken from the nineteen ninety two report to the nation, Beyond Rhetoric: A New American Agenda for Children and Families, the National Commission on Children noted (at page 253) that children are negative effected by the divorce, or fail to marry. A child with just one parent has six times more probabilities to be poor than children with both parents. This child also experience emotional and intellectual problems and has a greater risk to quit school or drug use.
In addition, I also read in a paper written by Suzanne Chamberlain that in a research made by gay supporters Judith Stacey and Timothy Biblarz for the American Sociological Review.
Weak argument, lacks credible examples
Gay marriages, one of the most controversial topics in today's society. Although you mentioned that gay couples "intentionally deprive children of a same- or opposite-sex role model", what about the MANY optimistic, genuine-caring gay couples who adopt children who were once deprived from food, water and shelter? What about the gay couples who INTENTIONALLY want to make a DIFFERENCE in a child's life? I do believe that your examples are quite weak. You only give ONE example of a lesbian couple who had a negative effect on a child. What about 2 gay men? What wre the effects on that child?
Also, if I were at a wedding, and two gay men named Paul and Ryan were getting married, this is what the preist would say: Do you, Paul, take Ryan to be a lawfully wedded husband for the rest of your life? Yes, this sounds perfectly fine to me and to others. LOVE is LOVE, whether it is hetero or homosexual. Not only are you arguing against gay marriages and families, you are also arguing AGAINST LOVE. If you can't back up your paper with many legit examples, don't assume people will credit your argumentative paper.
