So the President isn't the only one pandering to a small group within his base. Unfortunately for those of us who believe there are serious issues facing this Nation, I'm afraid this one will play right into the hands of the Democrats this Fall.

We must never undermine the uniqueness of an institution that continues to serve as an essential thread in the fabric of our society. I support the passage of the Marriage Protection amendment being debated in the Senate," Congresswoman Harris said.

I hate to pop her bubble, but the 10 million couples living together outside of marriage and the 1 million divorces a year pose an infinitely greater danger to marriage than the piddly 6000 same sex marriages in Massachusetts. I'm trying to figure out how any of those 6000 are endangering my marriage.

If sanctioned within the law, those 6000 same sex marriages will be telling our children and grandchildren that sexual perversion is normal. It's okay. Come on and try it, you will like it.

Those 6000 in MA can move to states that don't recognize same-sex marriages create an expensive legal mess!

FoxNews reported that many black ministers lobbied Dem Senators today to support the Marriage Amendment. Blacks overwhelming support defining marriage as between one man & one woman.

I'm very glad Katherine Harris is holding Nelson's 'feet to the fire' on this issue!

I'm a Harris supporter but it pains me to see the GOP blatantly pandering with this issue. This is a pure election-year stunt and it's not even going to go anywhere in the Senate.

They may not, but I think the propagandizing on alternate lifestyles in schools may affect that generation in ways that might well make family gatherings a heartbreak in years to come. It would be better if they told the truth about the dangers of a gay lifestyle.

You are quite right that easy divorce (promoted by liberal feminists) has led to a serious consideration of gay marriage. Easy divorce, however, has had a terrible emotional effect on children and countless adults. It has led to a disrespect for traditional marriage and has gotten us used to the concept of taking mothers or fathers away from children. Because we are accustomed to taking mothers or fathers away from children (for the sake of our terribly important adult life style preferences), gay marriage makes sense to some people. Given the terrible effect that easy divorce has had on both individuals and society, why would you add to the effect by legalizing gay marriage? How is a son supposed to learn to be a man through two lesbian parents? How is a girl going to learn to relate to men through two lesbian parents? How can two homosexuals mother a baby? Don't give me the argument about gays adopting little orphan children. The gay rights movement is not about that. What about the natural tie of kinship? There is a denial of kinship ties in gay marriage.
This divorce argument is an argument in favor of making divorce laws stricter. It is not an argument in favor of gay marriage.
