This proclamation to the world was first delivered to all the women in our church in 1995. At the time we wondered why it would be necessary to explain the meaning of something as basic to life as marriage and family. Fast forward ten years to today, and examine what has become of marriage. You are right when you say 75% of all kids now grow up in a single household. Marriage and family is literally in ruin, and as far as I can see, legalizing gay marriage will only make it worse.
I challenge you to read and study the proclamation. It is modern scripture specific to our day. It is true.
We don't need to identify all the ways in which one can alter or abuse marriage. Legalizing all forms of marriage will not make them right, it will only make them legal, and that is wrong.
