So how's the Netherlands doing? How's the violent crime rate? How often do rapes occur? How many people don't have health insurance? Are there many unwanted, neglected, or abused children? What's their homeless rate? How does their domestic violence rate compare to ours? If you look at those numbers, I think you'll find they're doing pretty well. Studies in the U.S. about children raised in "intact" homes have no relevance to the Netherlands. They take care of their children, their families, and each other somewhat better than citizens of the U.S. Statistically speaking. There's a lot to be said for people making considered choices about what's best for themselves and their children. People (gay or straight) who want to get married, get married. People who don't want to get married, don't. People have children because they choose to have children, not because they don't have access to contraception or because they "got unlucky" or because everyone expects them to have children. As long as the children are wanted and cared for, that's good. Are children in the Netherlands doing worse than children in the U.S.? Are there a lot of school shootings? You say you care about the children, but you don't really mean it. You just want to maintain your legal supremacy against gays, your scapegoat for everything.
