Good article describing the replacement of traditional marriage with civil contracts.
Let the homosexuals have civil contracts. We stand for traditional marriage as between one man and one woman.
Oh, please!
"Traditional" marriage has the following elements
1) It is permanent. Divorce is not permitted, and if it is, remarriage is not recognized.
2) It is sexually exclusive. Adultery is a crime. Alienation of affection is a tort where it is not also a crime.
3) In the case of separation or abandonment, children belong to their father. Unmarried women who become pregnant may not retain custody of the child, if born alive, UNLESS they have the means not to become a public charge.
THAT is traditional marriage, and the number of people who support it couldn't fill Giants Stadium for a rally.
It would weed out the homosexual activists/charlatans from those who actually believe the crap they serve (pun works) by illustrating how many of them really want to be legally tied/bound to such contracts.
Thank you.
I’m holding the line. (Too bad there are so few of us)
Right now government marriage mostly assures that the man will be utterly plundered and ruined financially if the marriage ends. He can be husband of the year, but if she wakes up and decides to leave for ANY reason she dreams up, he is utterly raped by the courts.
Government leaving marriage might help restore that balance. It also might help people refocus onto the idea of Marriage as a religious sacrament rather than as a government event.
