"If you make that argument, you will lose the debate. Very few people agree with you on that matter."

I understand that. I never said that I have a mainstream position on this issue. Do I have to have one? Anyway, the argument is already lost. We'll never see a Marriage Amendment and state after state is passing gay marriage. What's left to debate about?

One of the reasons we lost this fight is because we picked the wrong argument. It's not really about marriage. It's about official approval of homosexuality, but our side lacked the courage to say it, or didn't believe it.

I will say now that if society deems that homosexuality is just fine then there is no rational argument against gay marriage. That's how we lost.

We lost the war when we conceded the battle over the value of future generations; reproduction is no longer a conscious goal, but a vestigial instinct buried deep in our ungirded groins.
