2-Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman.
3-Adoption-Bullshit. It takes a man and a woman to make a child and it takes a man and a woman to raise a child. I sincerely feel that a child in a gay marriage is set up to fail. The additional stresses it places on a child must be tremendous.
We have seen historically that a large amount of children that commit serious crimes come from dysfunctional families. Seriously, how much more dysfunctional than wife and wife or husband and husband can you get?

What is the worst part is the clear indicator that this is a further degradation of the very fiber of our society, morals.
Without morals there is no right or wrong.

I think this is by design, one way to weaken a strong county and society is to destroy the basis of said society.
Destroy the traditional family, destroy the morals of society and you have a society that is very easily influenced and manipulated.
Perfect Marxist strategy.

I generally agree with BP. BHO's stance is not so groundbreaking: Cheny was in support of it, http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/...gay_marri.html.

As a starting point: http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...-dennis-prager

As to why the government is involved, one big reason has to do with divorce law and the welfare state. If you get divorced with children the government is concerned that the children wind up on welfare so they stick you with the bill to support them.

Like many things government intervention starts because people engage in self indulgent behavior without any thoughts to the consequences, say if something goes wrong. Then when they realize the error of their ways they want the government involved.

Also wait, soon there will be anti discrimination laws and punishment for those that disagree with same sex marriage or refuse to conduct marriages. The left claims people disagreeing with them are haters.

You already cannot discriminate agaisnt some man wearing a dress in employment or housing no matter how sincere your convictions that it is wrong.
