Societies that legitimize substitutes for traditional marriage (homosexual ‘marriage,’ civil unions, cohabitation) inevitably witness the decline of authentic marriage.

Hey, looks like some people are finally waking up. This has been going on for 40 YEARS. Its not new. Gay marriage is just the latest body blow to marriage. Start with "no fault" divorce, which way too many Christians are just fine with. Heck, way too many Christians have availed themselves of it. Then move on to the heterosexual "cohabitation" of the 70s and 80s. Then the "single mom" with kids of the 90s.

Some social conservatives have fought the good fight for years against the destruction of the family. But way too many social conservatives were complacent while marriage was being torn apart over the past several decades. I don't agree with gay marriage, but bitching about it now or calling it the "destruction of marriage" is incredibly short sighted. Marriage has been dying since the Social Revolution of the 60s. And for the most part we've done nothing.
