Great essay, concise and cogent. I would correct two items, though. Twenty-seven states have passed constitutional amendments protecting traditional marriage from redefinition - over 40 have passed some kind of legislation which does the same.

To this country's disgrace, one state legislative body has approved of a law allowing gay marriage - California did so this past year, but the Governor vetoed it.

Thanks for your comments. The suggested changes have been made and the article has been forwarded for consideration by several conservative publications.
