I have yet to be convinced that civil recognition of some form of legal partnership for homosexuals will have any real impact on heterosexual marriage


It redefines the role and definition of mother/father. It opens the door to a whole host of other ills -- much like Scalia warned about. You see, liberals are incrementalists. first this queer recognition crap then lowering the age of consent, queer adoption etc. etc. It WILL redefine marriage hence hurt it.

Yet again, you prove yourself uniformed. Gays can already adopt kids, and do. (No, the world hasn't exploded)

You have filled this thread with post after post of misconceptions, rhetoric and unsubstantiated claims. Any objective reader can see this.

You need to get a grip.

Polls show Americans are opposed to any civil recognition of any marriage-like partnership that is not one woman and one man. As am I.

However, it appears the debate is not going well. Folks like Andrew Sullivan hold their own pretty well against the likes of NR's Stanley Kurtz.
