You asked me for my opinion. Here it is. Not my writings, but I agree with what is written in this article.
1.
Is false. Marriage isn't limited to being between a man and a woman. Also by denying couples the ability to get married and start a family (which you would be doing by preventing a gay couple adopting or having a child) would go against the "purpose" of raising children. Purpose in quotes because kids don't need to be involved with marriage at all.
2.
Made up non sense. Though I do agree with the idea that we can see what's right and wrong. If something isn't going to cause anyone harm, it's not wrong. Gay marriage falls under this. Conversely denying someone's ability to marry harms them and is unjust.

"It is in the child’s best interests that he be raised under the influence of his natural father and mother."
Especially if they're abusive. This is more senseless text that is practically designed to harm children for a twisted agenda.
4.
Validating rights is always good. It doesn't promote anything though.
Also, how can being morally correct, and allowing someone to have their rights lead to a less moral society?
5.
There is plenty of common ground between gay marriage and interracial marriage. People are/were afraid of both because they were uncommon or went against tradition. In reality, there is no harm from either kind of marriage. You have a right to marry who you want, so in fact, the gay marriage debate and interracial marriage debate are the same thing. It's merely asking for people's rights to be recognized.

This one shoots itself down:
"If the “spouses” want a child, they must circumvent nature by costly and artificial means or employ surrogates."
There you go, gay marriage can produce children (which has nothing to do with marriage) and people are apparently even willing to put with great cost to get those children and then raise them.

"One of the main reasons why the State bestows numerous benefits on marriage is that by its very nature and design, marriage provides the normal conditions for a stable, affectionate, and moral atmosphere that is beneficial to the upbringing of children"
Well doesn't matter what sex the parents are.
"all fruit of the mutual affection of the parents."
Yep
8.
"the State becomes its official and active promoter."
Is this not a problem for everything else the state "promotes" then? That would include everything legal like drinking and driving but having a legal alcohol limit. The state is promoting this all our kids.

"If homosexual “marriage” is universally accepted as the present step in sexual “freedom,” what logical arguments can be used to stop the next steps of incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and other forms of unnatural behavior?"
The universal standard. Rights. Straight marriage? OK. Gay marriage? OK. Incest marriage? OK. Marriage between two people of any age so long as they're mature enough to engage in such a contract/relationship? OK. Marriage between a person and their dog? Dogs can't consent to a marriage, so how is this happening in the first place?
10.
If God doesn't exist, this is null.
