In the current argument over the question of gay marriage, both sides focus on their respective moral and even constitutional claims. But when the battle is pitched on those rather elevated and abstract grounds, the pro-heterosexual factions are at a big disadvantage, drowned out by the gay cohorts, who claim, not without justice, that their constitutional rights, for equal protection under the law, are being violated by any ban on same-sex marriage. But more than the civil rights of a deviant minority may be at stake: not only the matter of gay marriage, but the larger matter of marriage itself, and its place in the human scheme of things.
Heterosexual marriage is, after all, one of the most universal and enduring human institutions; it would not have spread so far nor endured so long had it not made an important contribution to societal and species survival. Thus far, these contributions and the fate of the marital institution itself under a gay regime have hardly been addressed. Before we warp marriage further, it is high time that they were.
Marriage serves many well-documented purposes. A less-studied function, but one that bears directly on the question of gay marriage, is this: heterosexual marriage helps to keep the fragile but necessary peace between men and women. There is no denying that a major fault line in human society has to do with the chronic and universal tensions between the males and females of our species. This breach has been documented, deplored, and even celebrated over the ages from the Athenian Lysistrata to Thurber's "The War Between Men and Women." It is the standard stuff of domestic comic strips, satires, and the explosive theme of contra-patriarchal feminist rhetoric and activism.

The children of a gay union always include a third party as parent. Additionally, the methods used to achieve their filthy orgasms should be abhorrent to our larger society. Shoving one's pee-pee in another's poo-poo and eventually ingesting fecal matter is not only disgustingly sinful it's bad for one's health!
I think a civil union separate from marriage is not appropriate either as it gives the misconception of legitimacy to those practicing an evil.
This confirms the frequent observation that homosexuals are almost always emotionally infantile and stunted.
“.... who claim, not without justice, that their constitutional rights, for equal protection under the law, are being violated by any ban on same-sex marriage.”
That is a ridiculous statement. There is no right granted under the Constitution for practitioners of a deviant lifestyle to marry a person of the same sex. This is the kind of garbage children are being taught in schools today, while the Constitution is deliberately neglected.
Against gay marriage:
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elton John, and Rush Limbaugh. They oughta get together on the golf course some time. Whatta foursome!
Very few mainstream liberal politicians have come out for same-sex marriage. They prefer to let the courts rule for homosexual marriage, then say that the courts have spoken, and never have to take a stand on this issue.
To me, this is a major contrast between the same-sex marriage movement and the civil rights movement of the ‘50s and ‘60. In the civil rights movement, the mainstream liberals of the day were in favor of those goals. Today’s mainstream liberals are not out there in favor of gay marriage. They just want the courts to do the dirty work.
How can you be against something that doesn’t exist?
Homosexuals are free to engage in whatever sexual activity they choose with each other. They are not free to try to force children to accept deviant behavior as normal, which it is NOT! Fredom does not justify tarnishing the institution of marraige that has been in existence all over the world for a thousand years.
“Marriage’ isn’t legitimate unless blessed by God.
He isn’t about to bless the evil of same-sexers thinking like fools that they’re miraculously being wedded!
Boy meets dog. ‘Loves’ dog. Marries dog. No puppies.
