No real importance.   So shut up.
No real importance.   Unless you are gay.
No real importance.   See above.

Gay families may have a different view to you. Lots around with adopted or first marriage children. Lesbian couples with AI children. Family units.

On this, littlehawk and I differ on opinion. A view that restricts the rights of others for no reason other than their colour, race, sexual preference or disability is quite rightly frowned upon in modern society. The last UK government drafted an equality bill that the present government enacted which clarified this and led the way to ironing out irregularities such as gay marriage. They made a pigs ear of it, allowing Church of England to not respect equality, but that's okay as it strengthens the case for disestablishment.

You can talk about freedom of opinion all you like but as Jack the Sailor and Akenaton have been finding out, insults aren't nice. Just in case you wonder why I do it..

Just do me a favour and re read his views, plainly stated above. Then see why he is fawning you both. He craves respect. He certainly doesn't earn it. I am deeply suspect of laws against inciting hatred as we have over here, but reading the views of Akenaton, I begin to see the need.
