Isn’t it amazing that although homosexuality has been going on since ancient times, it has never been part of the mainstream political discourse or popular culture in the Western world until the last few decades? The mere fact that it not only has, but that pointing out the downside of a homosexual lifestyle earns the speaker ridicule in the media, is indicative of the societal decadence of the United States and western Europe under leftist influence.

More to the point, even in societies where homosexuality was tolerated (such as ancient Greece and Rome), there was no such institution as "homosexual marriage." It would be considered laughable, because it was always understood that marriage wasn't about sex or romantic love, it was about having and raising children.

That's more or less my view of things - people have the right to their own private sexuality as long as it only involves consenting adults, but I still can't and won't wrap my head around the notion of homosexual "marriage." It seems like a contradiction in terms.
