Legalizing same sex marriage has nothing to do with destroying the family.

Educate yourself. In every country that has legalized gay marriage, the marriage rates have plummeted.

Correlation is not causation.
What are the tax rates in those countries?
What other factors that could lead to this decline?
What have marriage rates done in countries that have NOT legalized gay marriage?
This is a very complicated social issue that most likely does not have a single cause. How about the general decline in religious observation with the next generation, maybe they don’t care about marriage, gay or not.
BTW I am a fairly educated guy, please don’t add to a ongoing debate by calling me uninformed or uneducated.

Marriage rated plummeted from 1945 to 1960 in roughly the same percentage in 1990 to 2020. Same thing from 1920 to 1935. Think those drops were caused by gay marriage? Its a complex question. Don’t cherry pick data so support an anti-gay marriage position, it weakens your argument. I don’t have strong feelings one way or another on the subject, but I DO like honest complete arguments.
