Maggie Gallagher rocks. This is succinct and logical. There is still a desparate lack of communication (due to liberal media filter, of course) of why reasonable (not bigoted) people support FMA.

Its not compassionate to children to put adult needs and desires ahead of them. Marriage is ultimately about raising the next generation. That's always been the argument for traditional man-woman marriage in a nutshell. That's why the institution matters. Most people agree with this view but a tiny minority wants to rewrite the age-old understanding of marriage cause it makes them feel left out. Its not about making a few adults feel good; its about making our children grow up safe so they can become responsible and productive members of society. That's what's at stake in the marriage debate. Too bad the U.S Senate doesn't get it.

Love is not an excuse for adults to do whatever they want and assume the kids will adjust. The one statement that sums up all the others.
