Gay marriage is a perversion of God's law. It creates nothing and destroys nothing.

Remember that these people will be allowed to adopt children. The welfare of these children hangs in the balance.

These laws also serve to destroy the notion of the natural law with respect to marriage, and reduce marriage to a purely utilitarian, contractual arrangement. This will impact men and women in natural and sacramental marriages, and their children.

We are our brother's keeper, so we must work to prevent the passage of these evil laws.

I agree that gay couples adopting children is an explicit evil and should be fought. I concede that gay marriage and the eventual adoption practices are linked and for the adopted children alone there is a noble fight.

We won't win.

"These laws also serve to destroy the notion of the natural law with respect to marriage, and reduce marriage to a purely utilitarian, contractual arrangement. "

I tend to think the idea of Natural Law is becoming obsolete. More and more it's simply what the courts say.
