Would you be willing to provide an example?

What lawsuits will arise if equal protection of gay unions is established? What provisions of marriage will judges be forced to strike down because they apply only to heterosexuals?

These are the fairest of questions. I need to stop to refuel. Can someone help me out here? Snuffington has alluded to Stanley Kurtz' essays.

Let me give one example from the world of equal protection. Even though the ERA did not pass, Title IX has caused universities to shut down thriving athletics programs when they did not offer the same sports for women as men. Was that a just and intended consequence of the desire for equal treatment?

Frankly, I don't think there are a great many "priviledges" that accrue to married couples, however, one can expect continued efforts to delegitimaize the family (and Christianity in general). We can expect that the heavy hand of gov. will force us to accept queer coupling as legit and penalize those who have qualms.

This whole movement is about health and pension benefits, IMO.
