I believe the reasons for gay marriages to be legalised such as "we are in a world of change" are not logical. By that token since we are all changing, why don't we allow people to marry animals?
Don't pretend you're using logic or attacking our arguments. We are not saying 'we are in a world of change', we are simply asking for equality among people. Animals are not people, last time I checked.
Homosexuality in my belief is going against the laws of nature.
Of which laws do you speak, because not only is homosexuality practiced in nature, but it can be seen in the earliest examples of protohistoric sexuality.
I don't hate homosexuals, just their actions.
That's silly, because you can't know someone is homosexual unless they act.
Same sex marriages has with it profound ramifications. These individuals may want to adopt kids (because they can't conceive naturally) and these children will live a life where they are degraded and jeered at.
But I thought we were living in a world of change?
Seriously, though, children of fat parents, of ugly parents, of poor parents, of racially different parents, etc etc, have and will always be jeered at. You should be looking at more important issues than a child simply being teased -- things like suitability of a queer couple are far more imporant than the issue of being paid out at school.
Not to mention that, social acceptance as a reason for not doing something is a stupid and ignorant argument. Yes it is true that most new things are socially strange, but that's the beginning of most processes. Eventually, it will be accepted. Simply to say that it won't be accepted now is a silly and illogical thought.
It is not mentally healthy for a child to have same sex parents as they will be missing out on the different attributes of their parents to influence them (eg the warmheartedness of a mother and the firmness of a father).

Not only are you suggesting something without any proof, but you're also suggesting that a single parent is also incapable of raising a child. Considering 50% of Australian marriages end (with something like 40% of the broken marriages having children), you're making a big claim that nearly a quarter of Australians are brought up missing out on the different attributes of an undivorced marriage.
