I was totally surprised by the spread of the legalization of same-sex marriage. In just my lifetime we have gone from a taboo to even talk about homosexuality, to the sanction by governments of homosexual marriage. Few such large social considerations have ever before been turned over in such a short time.
Redefining marriage will have huge implications for what is taught in our schools, and for wider society. It will redefine society since the institution of marriage is one of the fundamental building blocks of society. The repercussions of enacting same-sex marriage into law will be immense.
Same-sex marriage would eliminate entirely in law the basic idea of a mother and a father for every child. It would create a society which deliberately chooses to deprive a child of either a mother or a father.
A ban on same-sex marriage violates the state Constitution's equal protection clause.
The American people are much more practical than Republican lawmakers on equal pay, on the minimum wage, on same-sex marriage, and on basic civil rights.
Europe, which gave us the idea of same-sex marriage, is a dying society, with birthrates 50 percent below replacement.
Same-sex marriage is not the future.
You can be a liberal and accept same-sex marriage and all that, but that's your business.
I didn't know that President Bush would endorse a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
It won't take 40 years for opposition to same-sex marriage to dissipate.
