True, Nova, but there is no evidence that gays will provide a greater degree of stability that I am aware of. If a gay couple has adopted a child and then splits, who gets the child? Who pays to support the child?
The better question from this conservatives point of view is why is the government involved with marriage at all? Is not marriage a religious institution?When I was a kid, we were the United States of America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Now, we're America, Land of the Sheep and Home of the Naïve.

So, your argument is that because not all marriages succeed (thanks to previous "reforms")), we should expand the definition to include even more fundamentally unstable relationships, thus guaranteeing a greater rate of failure? Not sure that I find your logic compelling, although it is consistent with your hostility to societal norms that don't advance your agenda.

Not all marriages are equally unstable. Practicing Christians have lower rates of divorce than the society in general:
US Divorce Rates for Various Faiths
Denomination (in order of decreasing divorce rate)
% who have been divorced
Non-denominational ** 34%
Baptists 29%
Mainline Protestants 25%
Mormons 24%
Catholics 21%
Lutherans 21%
The low rates among Catholics may have something to do with pre-marital counseling, which the Church requires before any marriage in a Catholic church:
