Exactly my point! We have an existing legal framework to allow people access to certain institutions (adoption rights, owning firearms, power of attorney, health benefits, etc). All of this framework operates without regard to color, sex or race. Why should sexual orientation factor in? For that matter, does making sexual orientation a non-issue radically change any of these existing frameworks?

The only sticky point I see could be "welfare of the child." Again we already have existing standards (drug use, housing conditions, etc) to assist judges with this, and we have an appeals process to keep it in check.
