I would say here that /people/ are fundamentally different in the way that they think, feel and experience things.
Well-put. To emphasize: Gabby claimed that heterosexual and homosexual life-sharing commitments will turn out to be very different in their day-to-day operation. Even if this is true, and even if it's true that hetero- and homosexual life-sharing commitments differ in ways that heretosexual commitments do not differ among themselves (and I'll say explicitly that I very much doubt that that is true), I cannot see how hetero- and homosexual commitments will differ in any way relevant to the issue of "lifetime commitment for the purpose of forming a family."
As far as the question of ducking the difficult issues: to my mind, part of the purpose of the gay-marriage movement is to face the difficult issues head-on and overcome them.
