I know you're all having a good old time scorning those who see the destruction of moral absolutes - the destruction of the natural family, as a harbinger of evil. I guess you like the idea of recreational sex being completely equated with marriage, or even lauded as superior. It makes it easier to tomcat around, for sure.
But consider this: approximately 33% of the babies born in the US are currently bastards. Unmarried parents. Among black babies it's over 70%. Just consider it. No mother and father, just a mother, and maybe a boyfriend who hangs around for a while.
Do you think a stable civilization can exist with no stable families?
There's only one right answer to that question.

I never thought of it that way. You're right. Same-sex marriage will result in an increase of illegitimate births...
Oh, wait. No, it won't.
In fact, I don't see how desiring "stable families" equates to "oppose same-sex marriage". It looks like another one of the lame arguments that allowing same-sex marriage will suddenly cause everyone in an opposite-sex marriage to love their spouse less.

Today is their day to gloat and to make fun of those who believe morality is an essential element to liberty. God will judge them. May their personal lives be overcome with the tragic results of this day, and may God spare the innocent.
