Though, one thing I haven't seen in this thread yet (explicitly):
- There are two kinds of marriage: marrying before law and marring before the church.

I understand if the churches don't want to marry gay couples, but that should be up to them to decide, not the states. They should definitely be allowed to "register" their relationship (not sure what it's called in English, when you just go to some office and say that you are now married, which gives you all the benefits of a married couple in the eyes of the law).
Anyway, considering adopting children... I agree with the points made earlier about them not growing up differently. There are many homeless children all over the world that really could use loving parents, and I can't see how living in a family where both parents are the same gender can be worse than living your entire (most likely short) life in poverty.
