I have read most of Dobson's books and used most of his FOTF resources for my child. But he has been way off the mark lately and it's embarrassing. He has become too political and too compromising. I'm all for Christians in politics, but they must be careful not to let it corrupt and compromise them. Dobson is off the mark with this and it isn't the first time. He needs to take time off and re-evaluate things. He has become a source of friendly fire and is harming the causes he claims to champion.
"With this common-sense alternative on the table, same-sex marriage proponents can no longer hide behind their 'benefits' argument."
Excellent point.....the homos should stop demanding any special "rights" now. However, I get a feeling that the perverts and their liberal allies are not going to give up anytime soon.
His definition of fairness is very liberal, as though the government owes everyone a bunch of stuff.
People should be able to choose who can speak for them when incapacitated, regardless of being "gay".
Benefits being offered for reasons other than marriage ought to be available regardless of who is having sex with whom. I believe the law in question would allow an adult with no wife or kids to select another adult to recieve benefits (such as halth care) without regard to sexual relations. In other words, a company could not offer a "gay" couple or heterosexual unmarried couples any benefits without also allowing people who do not claim sexual relationships (such as a woman with a sister who depends on her for all her needs) to also sign up for such benefits.
In other words, the bill gets everyone out of the bedroom. Marriage benefits are for married heterosexual couples (who presumably have sex). All other benefits are equally available to employees regardless of sexual relationships. No special benfits base on who one has sex with.
