For later read.
Supporting homosexual marriage and adoption is also part of the Libertarian Party Platform in America.
When it comes to massive illegitimacy, it’s probably more relevant that Scandinavia has very generous social welfare, making out-of-wedlock pregnancy about as economically viable as pregnancy within marriage. What you subsidize you get more of.
"Blankenhorn is amazed how indifferent homosexual activists are about the negative effects of same-sex marriage on children. Many of them, he documents, say that marriage isn’t about children.Well said, and that's my point as well when making the case against same-sex marriage. As I said before, the basis of marriage is to establish cultural meaning and moral values, giving stability to a man and a woman's inherently pro-creative relationship, fostering a solid environment for raising children, and guarding society's interest in the cultivation of those relationships."Well, if marriage isn’t about children, what institution is about children? And if we’re going to redefine marriage into mere coupling, then why should the state endorse same-sex marriage at all?
"Contrary to what homosexual activists assume, the state doesn’t endorse marriage because people have feelings for one another. The state endorses marriage primarily because of what marriage does for children and in turn society. Society gets no benefit by redefining marriage to include homosexual relationships, only harm as the connection to illegitimacy shows. But the very future of children and a civilized society depends on stable marriages between men and women. That’s why, regardless of what you think about homosexuality, the two types of relationships should never be legally equated."
I usually ask people if they believe in evolution (what the hell, they already think I’m a religious nutjob by this point). And then ask, isn’t there some reason why 1 man and 1 woman has evolved into the most dominant and most stable form of marriage in the world?
Artificially induced sterility, or "birth control," was the crucial first step. Abortion and homosexual "marriage" (somewhat) logically follow.
Much of this was predicted in the prophetic encyclical from 1968, Humanae Vitae.
“He is a life-long, pro-gay, liberal democrat who disagrees with the Bible’s prohibitions against homosexual behavior”
Mighty tough to win an argument with God, there, Mr. Blankenhorn...
