Well, our answer has always been that it would weaken marriage. Why? Because it would take away the unique status and benefits enjoyed by heterosexual couples granted by society, in society's own interest...

Benefits like a 50%+ divorce rate, jackals, er, I mean lawyers, alimony, custody fights, court battles, child support, ruined credit, losing half of what they worked for...all those benefits. If the screaming pillow-biters want the joke that marriage has become today, I say let them have it. They will regret it more than anyone else.

But as Colson points out, they don't want marriage, they want legitimacy. Once the gay marriage laws pass, they lose interest in the process and go back to cruising, or whatever it is Norwegian gay people do.

How dare people deprive divorce attorneys the right to go on expensive junkets and fund their private golf club memberships.
