"These kids have gone to school with people who happen to be gay, and they don't see them as a direct threat. They may think that lifestyle is wrong, but they don't see it as something that really affects their daily lives," Brinson said. "The groups that focus only on a narrow agenda, especially gay marriage and abortion, are going to decline." Someone is engaging in wishful thinking. It is not that it is a threat, it is that it is just wrong. Two men do not make a marriage.

It is not that it is a threat, it is that it is just wrong. But it is a threat, because by attacking the institution of marriage it attacks that most basic and natural institution of any society: the family. The very survival of any society depends upon the integrity of the family institution, which itself depends upon the integrity and sanctity of the marital institution. If you destroy a society's understanding of marriage, that society will very shortly collapse from within.

This much I agree with, at least. The future will, of course, be determined by younger people, and they don't have the same problems with gay marriage that their parents sometimes do. I expect this will be a non-issue in another 20 years.

"These kids have gone to school been through indoctrination with people who happen to be gay, and so they don't are taught not to see them as a direct threat. They may think that lifestyle is wrong, but they don't can no longer see it as something that really affects their daily lives," Brinson said. "The groups that focus only on a narrow agenda, especially gay marriage and abortion, are going to decline and will be assimilated as is necessary." There, fixed it.
