Jews and homosexuals are not the same thing. Are you trying to bait me into saying something racist? But I do resent the way the Palestinian question dominates so much of US foreign policy while Jews are such a minority in the same manner that same sex marriage annoys me. While my refusal to accept the findings "of trained and experienced professionals," may not make for the best argument I can't help but notice your avoidance of the fact that esteemed psychologists once (not all that long ago) thought exactly the opposite as they do now. No links to these trained and experienced findings?
As I said in my post I'm not completely opposed to homosexuals raising children. My mention of the transgender thing is a separate issue, you are right, but it's still at least connected. Transgender activism and gay activism are almost always wrapped up in the same rug - thus the LGBT acronym.
That link about higher HIV rates due to marriage bans is misleading. Gay marriage has almost always been banned, everywhere. Now if there was a law passed in say Indiana which stipulated that any man or women engaged in any type of homosexual activity could have their hands cut off then yes I could see how it would promote 'underground' sexual activities which would most likely be more dangerous and lead to higher infection rates.
As I said originally there could be some kind of tweaking to where common law marriage includes all of the benefits of traditional marriage you mentioned. Though, I guess I get it, if everyone else can be traditionally married why not gay people? I just detect a mocking/attacking tone in a lot of same sex advocates arguments that make it seem like forcing tolerance onto people who belong to the right seems to be the true reward as opposed to actually ending any kind of marriage ban.
