Do most same-sex couples even want to assume the responsibilities of marriage?
There is considerable reason to doubt that they do. A front-page article in the New York Times (August 31, 2003) reported that in the first 2 = months after Ontario's highest court legalized "marriage" for same-sex couples, fewer than 500 same-sex Canadian couples had taken out marriage licenses in Toronto, even though the city has over 6,000 such couples registered as permanent partners.

Content aside, the use of circular logic, unjustified or un-cited 'facts,' and taking out of context of what they do cite is worrying. And scare tactics...
Somebody tell me this is just a peripheral organization with a nice web site, and nobody really takes them seriously anyway. It'll make me feel slightly better about the state of American media. (Not by much, but still.)
