same-sex marriage

Maine has defeated the same-sex marriage law that recently came into effect.
So I wondered what worried those opposed to the law.
I can understand the opposition on religious grounds.
But then I read:
"Same-sex marriage could be taught in schools.
Teenagers will be encouraged to experiment with their sexuality.
Same-sex marriage will become widespread.
Gay marriage would undermine western civilization.
Marriage is for pro-creation.
(Does that mean couples should get divorced after a hysterectomy?)

Heidi and I recently stayed at a lodge ... where you don't gotta cook meals. They feed you.
The owners (who did the cooking, etc.) are fantastic ... and gay.
They adopted two great kids (who are now teenagers).
I suspect they'd find the above concerns hilarious.
Uh ... on second thought, they'd find them sad.

In The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Norway, and Sweden, same-sex marriages have the same status as opposite-sex marriages.

In the following countries, something "similar" to same-sex marriage exists:
Andorra, Australia, Colombia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.
