#1- Gay Marriage y/n?

It heavily influenced by the way you were raised and if you were educated properly on sexual relationships.

Really? So you admit that the only reason you are a heterosexual is because of having a pair of heterosexual parents and sexual education lessons? I'd dare say that sexual attraction can begin to manifest before any form of formal education is applied, and from young ages do you really have the capacity to discuss and be 'educated' about sex? Regardless, I know how homosexual sexual intercourse could occur - that doesn't make me attracted to men. In addition, how is one educated 'properly' on sexual relationships? Sure people find out how it happens, but religion for example might offer highly negative views towards homosexuality and so the child has a prejudicial and homophobic attitude towards homosexuals instilled in them; all from a heterosexual pair of parents.

Even so, it's not right if a child were to be raised from birth (presuming he was adopted either as a baby or very young) in a gay family. Imagine being raised by 2 dads, it's just not the way it was intended to be.

Nothing was 'intended' to be anything. Aside from being raised enough to survive on alone, anything else is not necessary and a part of society built from humanity. Homosexual parents have as much of a capacity to raise a child as heterosexuals, there is no need for them to be heterosexual in any evolutionary standpoint. I don't see any evidence for homosexual parents raising homosexual children, how about heterosexual parents whose off spring turn out to be gay? Homosexuality is a part of nature, as much as any heterosexual behaviour.

The kid would almost certainly be bullied, it's perception of sexual relationship would be completely out of place.

"its perception of sexual relationship would be completely out of place". Well the fact that the child is being bullied sort of points to the fact that every other kid has their perception of morality and sexual relationships out of place doesn't it? The child is either going to be homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. Sex education is the basis for 'sexual relationships' which are taught to all students in a similar fashion. That doesn't stop 'normal' heterosexual couples forming abusive relationships or mistreating children does it? Surely if they have the 'right' perception of sexual relationships there wouldn't be those problems.
