There are many reasons why I am opposed to recognizing homosexual unions as marriages. But this one is by far the most important:

Married couples have the right to adopt children. If you recognize homosexual unions as married couples, they will have the right to adopt children. This means robbing the adopted child of a basic right: The right to both a mother and a father. Everyone who has both a mother and a father knows that the two are not the same. An extra mother cannot replace a father, and an extra father cannot replace a mother. If society looks for a new couple to take care of a child that for some reason cannot stay with it's biological parents, it should give the child they very best it can have. The child cannot choose for itself. Since society must choose for it, it must give the child the best possible environment. At no point does it have the right to say that "two moms" or "two dads" is good enough.

This is not to say that homosexual dads are not as good dads as heterosexuals, or that homosexual moms are not as good moms as heterosexuals. But a mom cannot be a dad and a dad cannot be a mom. It is best for children to have both. It is their natural right, as they are the result of a union between man and woman.

So here we have a conflict of interest. On the one hand the rights of adults to have their union recognized as a marriage and the rights of children to have both a mom and a dad. In such a case society must protect the rights of those who are the weakest, the children. This is why France said no to gay marriage.

EDIT: I am not a conservative BTW. I am a libertarian, but with regards to this issue, I would side with the conservatives.
