Could you give a brief summary of why this is destroying marriage. Ever since Mass. started this stuff, my marriage hasn’t been effected one bit and I don’t see how it ever will.

The logic fallacy of composition states that if it is (or isn’t) true for the one example, then it is (or isn’t) true for every example. So, your example of YOUR marriage is entirely irrelevant.

The INSTITUTION of marriage must be maintained, as I stated in my previous post, in order to maintain our society as a whole. Its definition must not be changed, nor watered down, and must not become meaningless.

The societal advantages are numerous, as many studies have indicated. Less crime, less poverty, better education - all are correlated with married couples raising children in that context.

THANK YOU! this doesn’t affect my marriage or my family for that matter. I think what destroys marriage are things like Brittany Spears and her 24 hour marriage and the like. 2 gay people wanting to be together doesn’t affect me in the least.
