From everything I've read, proponents of gay marriage think that it is one step along the way to the abolition of legal marriage. Yes, gay marriage seriously threatens the institution of marriage.

Who the heck is Catherine Miller anyway? I got Freep mail from her/him/it....

Hey troll stop spamming me with hate freepmails.

You too, huh?

What's FUNNY, Catherine or whatever the heck your name is.......I WASN'T EVEN ON THIS THREAD. Nor did I see the stupid post you made.

Idiot. You too, "zara". Dumb, dumb, dumb.

The more important question is what our society will look like ten years from now, after we reduce marriage to the temporary joining of any number of people for whatever reason they find mutually beneficial (and that's exactly where we're headed). What will our young people think of marriage then? It will no longer be looked upon as the joining of one man and one woman and the binding force of the nuclear family.

One of the reasons the institution of marriage has fallen so far is that it is seen as being a union of two people, rather than the foundation of a family. A family isn't just about the parents, or even just about the parents and their immediate offspring. It's about producing a knit fabric of people which also include aunts, uncles, neices, nephews, cousins, grandchildren, in-laws, and other relations.

Marriage has strayed a long way from where it needs to be. But accepting same-sex "marriage" will make it even harder to get back.

Yeah, the lovely catherine miller haunted my freepmail not too long ago.

Lesbian mystery writer.

Consenting adults?

It is not just adults that marry. Hetero teenagers can marry so the gays might ask why not gay teens? Then one asks how young a teenager can marry. In many states a 15 year old can marry, but usually, up til now, it happens due to pregnancy. A teen younger than 15 usually needs parental or judicial permission--so could they get permission from their gay parents or a gay judge?

And how about first cousins or siblings? How about an old man and a young boy?

These are stomach turning questions.

And the ever so lovely "zara"? Who's that? I was blessed in an email by that slob, too.

"How about an old man and a young boy?"

I could marry my couch.

Homosexuals do not produce future taxpayers. When they retire, assuming they live that long, they will take from society witout giving.

This means the left will have to impose an each according to their needs type of system on the United States to "compensate."

[longtermmemmory]

already done.

Have you not noticed how the words Mother and Farther have been replaced by the PC unisex "parent" a child does not have a mother and father, the child has "parents".

[TheGeezer]

You are right, it is a great article. Crisis is a great magazine, too.

Thanks. Keep up the good fight!

And the ever so lovely "zara"? Who's that?

My google search brings thousand of hits to a female porn star called Zara White and the name Zerah, a son of Judah in the bible.

I wonder which one the poster intends.

Before you go, thanks for the FRmail, I love them.

All this publicised perversity just fuels our mortal enemies in the Islamic world to conclude that we are indeed "the great satan." It hurts our effort in Iraq and it may cause deaths to inocent soldiers.

[chiller]

Catherine double mailed me on this topic as well, and earlier today a third from another newbie, via private mail.

Obviously a new tactic. All should be advised.

You vile idiot....
