When marriage is not lived according to the norms of permanence and exclusivity – indeed, when it does not even intend to provide the child with its own mother and father -- children suffer and society suffers. Yet it is these very norms that are undermined by the Obergefell judges’ view that marriage is primarily about “love”, that is, emotion, and not the comprehensive flesh and spirit union ordered towards begetting children that is implicit in the whole history of the human race.

Exactly. Marriage is about continuing the human race, it's not about sex or even love.

Specifically, there is a need for new laws protecting religious liberty rights – already enacted in North Carolina, Michigan and Texas – in all states.

This statement is false. What is needed is for the government to follow the laws as written, not to invent new laws they will also ignore.

Just finished reading it. Very, very readable and very, very important. If you don’t read another non-fiction book this year, read this one.

Really, the only winning argument I can think of is:

“Marriage is for the children”

Homos have claimed sympathy by playing the “minority victim” card, but innocent children can garner more sympathy than that. So we need to repeat loudly and often that “gay marriage” is fundamentally unfair to children, who deserve, whenever feasible, to be raised by their biological parents.
