OK, you deserve credit here for trying.
The only way of having offspring is by either a surrogate parent or adoption. However, do all marriages have to produce children?
I know a lot of people who don't want children at all, so I don't quite think this works out all the time.

2) Another reason is that it will not solve the issue of hatred of gay people. In fact, I fear that they will be a major civil war between pro-gay marriage people and anti-gay marriage people and that they will be so much conflict that people will die. I know this because at my school, this issue never has a good debate instead fighting. Their will be more of that if gay marriage is legalized. Believe me, that will be the case.

I personally don't buy that for a second.
So far, out of the hundreds of people who post on this forum every day, only a few of us are arguing strongly over this issue. This reflects on a small scale what is true for the whole population: not enough people are concerned enough either way to possibly start something to a scale as great as you suggest. Also, the will of those prepared to defend gay rights far outweighs the hatred in the opposite direction: gay pride marches attract thousands, whilst there are hardly ever any anti-gay protest marches. People who disagree are often happy to just stay out of other people's lives.
