“When “conservatives” are as bothered by divorces as they are by gay marriages, I’ll know they are serious about defending the family and the institution of marriage.”
I’m bothered about contraception. :) When conservatives are bothered about the bond between husband and wife, then we can start on divorces. By all means, but this is the battle in the hear and now. We need to go back to what works.
But it’s such a minor issue, it’s like trying to fix the leak on your roof when there a fire raging in your kitchen.
Look at the illegitimacy rate, look at the divorce rate, look at the birth rate. The family as an institution is all but dead in western society. Gay marriage is minor distraction that fools conservatives into believing they’re doing something when they’re not.
