De facto, as opposed to media talking points? Have a few examples of the harm being done to the family fabric of this country in recent decades:
a) Decades of wage stagnation has required an increase in family working hours to make ends meet, making families with two working parents the norm and leaving parents with less time to devote to their children.
b) An explosion of drug use, particularly meth, is having a similar ruinous effect across low-income white families as crack cocaine did during the 1980's.
c) Single parent families grow ever more common. Something on the order of 70 to 80 per cent of black children are raised in single-parent homes nowadays, and the number of such children among whites is entirely too high, as well.
d) An erosion of opportunity and increase in debt load among lower- and middle-class youth forces young adults to put off moving out or even starting families until later in life. In addition to the complications involved with older first-time mothers, it likely contributes to the lack of replacement-rate births.
e) Public education is in a pathetic state in this country
But by all means let's continue ignoring the elephant(s) in the room while arguing over a minor issue that affects, by definition, at most a couple per cent of the population.

See and progressing the issue, can't drop it (is that you IRYD?). Huge chip on the shoulder. A redefinition of what a family is (it's not two people married), and then totally blow over the criminal actions of the government as it destroys actual families as has been the issue long before the first gay marriage in the US.
Defining Family: a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not:
the traditional family.
When two people that are of the same gender can naturally produce offspring by way of their genetics, get back to me on the issue. m'kay?
Because otherwise it's not a traditional family and is not a family issue. However your attempt to redefine the dictionary is just another part of the problem among the progressives, and in this issue that you are forcing, as Milo Yiannopoulos said, they are just using you.
Meanwhile there are actual people suffering, widespread, even being incarcerated into the prison industry. Yes, not an issue for you, and why should it be? Doubt you even bothered with those two vids. But to speak of it gives you now ample opportunity to derail and turn it into some "gay marriage" debate, which is not related to the family, directly. Again, while actual people suffer, put into the prison industry, children growing up without fathers and becoming statistically most likely to also enter the prison industry as was said in that second vid.

This whole post makes me sad. I don't have the energy to respond more to it. Day. We're a huge drain. There's too many of us as it is. We don't need to reproduce naturally. We're too busy taking care of the children that the folks who naturally reproduce don't want or care about. I'm adopted. Trust me I know about this.
As for prison. Yes. People like me are jailed in Russia and many countries. Someone else's suffering under corruption and hatred does not diminish what we deal with here. It just if anything should make it more apparent that the problem can get much much worse.
Oh also we'd love to give your straight made unwanted children better lives. Love and steady healthy family structure. But people would like to rather let them rot and see us unable to adopt.
They're all major issues. They're all important. All part of the same problem. Religious overreach and governmental overreach.
