From my reading of the "evidence" cited by these doctors, it seems that the data supports stable two person relationships for the well-being of children. As none of the studies specifically compared stable hetero vs stable homo relationships, then the conclusion is that allowing homosexuals to marry would actually benefit children.

Btw, what type of sex do you have runner? Have you checked that it is approved by the majority of society?

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Parented Families:
A Literature Review prepared for the Australian Psychological Society
http://www.psychology.org.au/assets/files/lgbt-families-lit-review.pdf

Conclusions
" ... the literature discussed here indicates that the family factors that are important for children’s outcomes and well-being are family processes and the quality of interactions and relationships. The research indicates that parenting practices and children’s outcomes in families parented by lesbian and gay parents are likely to be at least as favourable as those in families of heterosexual parents, despite the reality that considerable legal discrimination and inequity remain significant challenges for these families."

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS: Coparent or Second-Parent Adoption by Same-Sex Parents

"Children deserve to know that their relationships with both of their parents are stable and legally recognized. This applies to all children, whether their parents are of the same or opposite sex. The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that a considerable body of professional literature provides evidence that children with parents who are homosexual can have the same advantages and the same expectations for health, adjustment, and development as can children whose parents are heterosexual.1–9 When 2 adults participate in parenting a child, they and the child deserve the serenity that comes with legal recognition."

Doctors for the Family, of which your advocate, Dr Kuruvilla George, is a member, often cite a similarly-small break-away religiously-based dissident doctor group, the American College of Pediatricians, who also dishonestly cite false or limited information!!

No amount of evidence will convince those blinded by their ideology. You would think disease statistics alone would speak for how unhealthy anal sex is. All those who think will be bludegeoned out of the debate and jobs just like the warmist tried to do with thinking scientist. As with many you demonise the doctors but are unable to refute their clear evidence and conclusions.

Kipp, falesly claimed "The churches are a business with all its wealth and financial income, yet contributes nil to Australia other than make claims for funding from Australian taxpayers, who are also homosexual, which makes the church hypocritical and a bludger on Australian society."
Obviously he is totally ignorant of how Churches raise money.

wearestardust, The exclusive sexual relationship of marriage between a man and a woman is the order and design of family (procreation) and has been around since the first humans. Again it shows you complete ignorance of biological fact, to imagine it is a 20th century construct.

runner,
anal sex and STDs has nothing to do with parents interactions with kids (well, virtually nothing, other than through deviant adult behaviours).

What is/are "the doctors ... clear evidence and conclusions" that you assert, barely? You have a moral obligation to properly outline them and arguments for them.

1. "The exclusive sexual relationship of marriage..." - Hardly.
a. Not all sexual relationships take place within marriage. :/
b. Not all marriages are sexual.
c. Not all marriages are exclusive.

2. Not all sexual relationships are between a man & woman ...

3. None of these really is "the order and design of family"

4. If marriage has been around since the first humans, it is not primarily an institution of the Abrahamic religions, is it??
