“Individuals marry based on various private interests. The public interest in marriage, in contrast, is based directly on the role that marriage plays in creating and raising the next generation. Same-sex marriage breaks the essential connection between marriage, children, and the mothers and fathers who create them.”
Important distinction and aptly stated. Really the crux of why same sex marriage must be defeated - the religious and secular reasons are bound up in this. Thanks for posting this piece.
It is good to see marriage so accurately defined.
Never did I think that anyone would need to have it defined, though..............we live in crazy times.
