French protesters have identified the heart of the matter when it comes to gay marriage: It's all about the children.

We all derive our lives from a mother and father. Therefore, there is something in the soul of every little girl that needs a mother and father, and there is something in the soul of a little boy that needs a mother and father.

As "progressive" as it may seem to legalize gay marriage, there is more to this issue than might come to mind.

One of the basic purposes of marriage is to secure for children the benefit of being raised by those responsible for giving them life, and we have no higher priority than to seek the interests of the children above our own.

Whatever we believe about gay marriage, let's be clear about the heart of the matter: It's all about the children.
