The family is the most basic societal institution. The health of the State depends on the state of the family.
Garbage. The health of the State depends entirely upon tax revenue. Do you really believe the State gives a damn whether it collects gas taxes from a heterosexual or a homosexual couple? With all due respect, give it a rest. If we are rotting from the core it is not due to homosexual marriages or the intent of having them. Unless you now think the past century of our presidents and your governors were gay. You see, they were the ones elected and they were the ones who push more of what you claim to despise than any homosexual group could ever pray to. As the saying goes, a fish rots from the head down.
