I've heard similar theories "man and woman" "families" which links to the 'furthering of the species' type thinking. Marriage is only for traditional families...families that have children.
Trust me, I think I can relate:
"My lawsuit is a part of the war against evil," Boissoin claims. "I intentionally used the term ‘war’ in my letter to declare that I am no longer going to wallow in fear, apathy and political correctness but I’m declaring that I am going to do my part to actively defend my faith, share truth with passion and love regardless of the outcome, and while doing so, encourage others to stand with me.
This from a popular anti-gay activist in my own city.
His friends are defending his right to call for war against the 'gay agenda'

Here's more on Alberta politicians:
QUOTE]Day, a leading opponent of gay rights, was bitterly opposed to the
Supreme Court's decision to force Alberta to include homosexuals in its
human rights act. He tried to get his government to invoke the
notwithstanding clause to overturn the Supreme Court decision writing
protection of gays in the human rights code.

We're at war, and defending 'morality'. Defending the 'natural family'
Alliance party policy defines families as only those linked by adoption,
blood or marriage.
To allow gay marriages is to allow them to be called a family, and that undermines traditional families in their point of view. The gay agenda...
The same if you allow gay foster families...'family' is not to be linked to homosexuals that way.
""The freedom for homosexuals to choose their lifestyle is there. But
when I'm asked to legislate, in some way, approval of their choice, then
I have a problem,'' he says. "How can I do this without a mandate to
alter in public policy a centuries-old definition of what a natural
family is?''
"The homosexual issue is a real source of concern because they don't
know how far it's going to go,'' Day says. "There is a concern, yet to
be determined, that it can't be stopped. These type of unknowns have
people alarmed."

These teachings in schools are defended by the alliance and tory members of my province:
Science lessons taught pure
creationism, noting that all evolutionists were guilty of "depravity and
sinfulness." In one reading lesson, junior high students were asked:
"The Jewish leaders were children of their father, the devil: true or
false?"
In newspaper articles at the time, Day vigorously denied the curriculum
was bigoted in any way. Fervently defending the material and the right
of his school to teach whatever it wanted, Day said he was willing to
"go to jail, if need be." "God's law is clear," an angry Day told
Alberta Report in 1984. "Standards of education are not set by
government, but by God, the Bible, the home and the school."
When elected in Red Deer North in 1986, Day made an evangelical-style
speech that made explicit his literal believe in the Bible, and that he is a Creationist.
Mr. Day was appointed minister of labour in 1992. He made Alberta's
minimum
wage the lowest in the country.
I didn't really notice our leaders until the day guy came to my door and treated me like a illiterate uneducated oaf with the way he answered my questions. I was in college at the time and taking Bio-Tech.
I wanted to be a Lab Tech. At the same time all the labs in clinics were closed and one central lab was opened in the middle of the city. If you needed a urine test, you had to go to the doc's office first, and then to the lab, and then back to the doc's office.
The lack of job opportunities had me concerned. So when day came to my door and asked me if I had any questions I started to say
"I have a question about job opportunities....
He interrupted and said (in a tone that was like offering a kid a candy cane at christmas) "Have you tried Superstore?"
The only work you get there is part-time and that low minimum wage he set for the province.
I was so disgusted that he had interrupted me and thought that I was worthy of such a job that you really couldn't build a future on.
So I said "Oh there's a future" and closed the door. The guy makes snap and stereotypical judgements before he even knows someone. I look young for my age, but sheesh, let me finish the question before you say something so idiotic!
So yeah, marriage is for their definition of 'family' only. You can read what they said about gay parents being foster parents, and other such topics

""Homosexuality is a mental disorder that can be cured by counselling."
He has said homosexuality is "not condoned by God'' and maintains being
gay is a matter of choice.

These are the people who now make up the Alliance party. They are our federal opposition party. They also run Alberta. Albertans vote for them and back them (except ones like me, but I'm clearly a minority...I never vote for them, and they always win).
It's sick.
