...Inevitably, the pattern discernible in the statistics is borne out in the statements of the activists. Many of those who most vigorously champion same-sex marriage say that they do so precisely in the hope of dethroning once and for all the traditional “conjugal institution.”

That phrase comes from Judith Stacey, professor of sociology at New York University and a major expert witness testifying in courts and elsewhere for gay marriage. She views the fight for same-sex marriage as the “vanguard site” for rebuilding family forms. The author of journal articles like “Good Riddance to ‘The Family,’” she argues forthrightly that “if we begin to value the meaning and quality of intimate bonds over their customary forms, there are few limits to the kinds of marriage and kinship patterns people might wish to devise.”

Similarly, David L. Chambers, a law professor at the University of Michigan widely published on family issues, favors gay marriage for itself but also because it would likely “make society receptive to the further evolution of the law.” What kind of evolution? He writes, “If the deeply entrenched paradigm we are challenging is the romantically linked man-woman couple, we should respect the similar claims made against the hegemony of the two-person unit and against the romantic foundations of marriage.”.....

My brother is a SF homo. He was/is/will soon be in a monogomousc relationship that is oh-so-serious-this-time-and-boy-do-I-mean-it-this-time.

However, he told me about the area code rule: you only have to be faithful while in the same area code. When traveling, it is OK to have anonymous gay sex with strangers. He said it as if it is the norm among homos, and I do not doubt it.

I gave up years ago trying to apply basic human norms and standards upon him; now I just consider him dead to me, which may have some truth, as his last gay partner was HIV-positive, and my brother knew it going into the relationship.

Yes it would undermine the fight for same sex marriage were more and more people to come to the realization that homosexuals don't want marriage just like everyone else. They don't want one man & one man or one woman & one woman. They want open, polyamorous marriages, relationships.

They are really after the 'benefits' that society provides to married couples, along with acceptance of their lifestyle.

I see life as an American swirling down the drain even without providing married benefits to gay couples - that event would assure the fall of America as we remember it.

Also, given this information - think of all the gays in other countries that want to come to America - well, if they marry an America - they can come to America. If we allow gays to marry, they will come in the millions.

Let's hope that this new input will undermine the fight for same sex marriage.

You do know that occurs in heterosexual marriages, too. Don't you?

Pray for him. Prayer has the strength to call others back to Christ. I was not always a Christian, but I came to him after nearly 15 years away.

100 percent of the gay marriages here in my province in Canada are “gay tourism”, marriage for people who live abroad. This is the main reason for approving gay marriage, to export it elsewhere to the world. Don’t make the same mistake we did.

You do know that study after study shows that (when compared to homosexuals) that heterosexuals are far, far less likley to have open, polyamorous relationships/marriages?

Even Colleen Huff - the principal investigator in the study - said that with straight people it is called cheating. Not so with homosexuals. But you know this already, and yet you use a red herring anyway.

Stay focused on how gay people are trying to destroy one man, one woman traditional marriage.

If both parties are agreeable how is it cheating?

I'm well aware of that fact. I'm in favor of getting Government out of the business of marriage entirely.
