The problem with going along with gay marriages with no children is that once those are allowed, then the gay groups will demand all gay marriages be accepted. Then I will have a problem with gays denying kids a mom and a dad. The kids have a right to a mom and a dad - you could never have that with a gay marriage. Why do gay couples want to deny a child such a basic right?

"gays denying kids a mom and a dad... kids have a right to a mom and a dad... Why do gay couples want to deny a child such a basic right?"
As the child of a Catholic couple who stayed together because of the kids and the church, I have to say that this logic really irks me. Two parents of opposite genders does not equal good parenting.
You assault single parents everywhere with that comment.
Excuse me while I go and quote the latest International Legal Standard!Convention on the Rights of the Child , G.A. res. 44/25, annex, 44 U.N. GAOR Supp. (No. 49) at 167, U.N. Doc. A/44/49 (1989), entered into force Sept. 2 1990.Article 2
1. States Parties shall respect and ensure the rights set forth in the present Convention to each child within their jurisdiction without discrimination of any kind, irrespective of the child's or his or her parent's or legal guardian's race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status.
2. States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the child is protected against all forms of discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, expressed opinions, or beliefs of the child's parents, legal guardians, or family members.

If they're adopting the kids, then I think it's safe to assume that the kids don't have parents. Or maybe one of them is the kid's biological parent. That can happen too, you know. Why do Fundies always want to see the world in black and white?
Then I will have a problem with gays denying kids a mom and a dad.
Why do gay couples want to deny a child such a basic right [to a mom and a dad]?
So, gay marriages with children, yes, no?, they can adopt children, of course, but the same way that a single person does. I had a kid when I was still single because my cousin died and I was granted custody, am I denying him, my nephew, a basic right?. Please, be consequent.
Why do you want to deny a child their basic right to a loving home? Love is not exclusive to anyone, be they straight, gay, white, black, etc. You'd rather children stay home with abusive heterosexual parents than a gay couple who would take care of them? Priorities, much?
