Gays awesome at parenting, would make marriage look too fabulous

It's old, sad news by now that the New York courts ruled that the legislative ban on same-sex marriage was constitutional. But I hadn't heard the truly bizarre "logic" behind it. Today's NYT reveals that the courts decided that straight people NEED marriage, because they apparently are too F-ed up to parent without it.

Wha?

I'm confused. The author of this op-ed piece opines that in their bumbling way, perhaps the courts were trying to be kind to the gay population by paying them a compiment. Yet I think I almost prefer the fire and brimstone biblical excuse, because that brand of close-mindedness is, at they very least, matter-of-fact about its bigotry. This is Bugs Bunny reverse psychology. This is insulting to the intelligence of gay people and just sad. What's worse, they have a valid point. Gays who choose to have children are doing just that. And going through backgrond checks and filling out paperwork and waiting and praying. Any straight knucklehead with a sex drive and a busted condom is a parent waiting to happen. Thank goodness they have marriage to protect them from their ills. Sheesh.

Ok. This makes 2 serious pieces in a row. Anybody got any bridezilla dirt?
