Well, yes... Every time I see that some court has overturned restrictions against same-sex “marriage”, I have to scratch my head. If they are going to make such rulings, they should be compelled to define exactly what same-sex “marriage” is—because it certainly is NOT the legal framework that has developed to protect what is essentially a biological relationship that naturally developed for the protection of children, which is fundamental to our survival as a race.

But that's exactly why we lost the fight. Once we allowed gays to adopt children, we lost that whole argument.

If they can have kids - from prior relationships, by adopting, surrogacy or whatever route - then all our "protect the family" arguments become their arguments.

The only way to stop this is to remove the state from marriage altogether, which is even more radical than what they've been able to do.

I would also add that it is crucial to start listening to the accounts of children who have been raised to adulthood in these unhealthy relationships. They are telling us, the ones who feel comfortable enough to tell the truth, that what they have experienced is emotional, psychological and often physical child abuse. It is pretty sick.

We need to stop viewing these parenting situations as good for children and see them as they really are - self gratification of the adults’ nurturing instincts and desire to masquerade as normal at the expense of the children’s needs.
