As for the traits of the parents rubbing off on the children. I think that assumes that sexuality is a learned trait rather than a genetic trait. I am betting if you look at the numbers, you would have more gay people who have straight parents than gay people from gay parents.
While people might be more comfortable with gays having a separate category of union, I do not think the COTUS would agree. The SCOTUS has already ruled that separate but equal is not a legal practice. Marriage is a civil agreement. I would rather see marriage stay in the public domain and religion can can theirs "Holy Matrimony".

Not sure I agree with your separate but equal is not legal. Plenty of minorities are "more equal" with AA- and that passes the COTUS test. Of course in one sense of course it is legal, but obviously not all senses. AA puts all things equal except if you are black you get more concrete chances of winning a contract or getting funds to start a business /etc because it's current thinking says that society does not give blacks (and some other minorities) a "real" chance of _______ (fill in the blank to suit whatever it is you wish they are not getting now). Again obviously current thinking changes- and so should AA IMHO-m should be stopped -but that's another thread.
I don't agree completely with the sexuality is learned either- I think you are either gay/straight/bi from birth. You may experiment, but that's not what will determine what you become later.
