Gay marriage is a fraud, an oxymoron. If two gays want to engage in a consensual fraud between themselves, that's their business. But giving gay marriage legal effect moves it beyond the two of them and onto the rest of us. No one has the right to force the rest of us to acknowledge and support an outright fraud of this nature.

Some gays are asking for acknowledgement, I will agree on that. However, most gays I meet simply want the same legal protections that a heterosexual couple can have. What is wrong with that?

Marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman for the purpose of creating and rearing children. It has special significance, importance, and value above all other human relationships for that very reason.

Why does it have to be between a man and a woman? And what about people who remain childless? Is their marriage a "fraud" as well? If it is, why should they enjoy the benefits of marriage and not homosexuals, some of whom are raising children together?

Gays are NOT seeking "the same protections" when they seek marriage. A living will gives them all the protection they need.

They are seeking to FORCE society to accept them as normal. No more, no less.

Unless you count pissing off Christians as a sub-goal.
