I gleaned some great verbage from McBuff;
"Our rights are endowed to us based upon our common humanity, not a particular behavior. In fact, no one has a "right" for a spouse, hetero or otherwise. We have the right to remain silent. . a right to an attorney.. .but not a right to be married. However, a child does have a right to be raised properly by the father and mother who conceived and gave birth to the child. . and it is therein where resides the confusion. "
and " The state should be removed from marriage."
" I tend to agree. Marriage derives its meaning and significance from religious precepts. Government got involved through the door of Family Law, in the interest of children, who by nature, are not able to represent their own rights and interests."
"The State now re-defining marriage, in fact, represents the State turning away from that one possible legitimate interest of Family Law. Children, and the protection of their rights to be raised by a father and mother, are the losers either way."

Anytime the ‘state’ gets involved where it doesn’t belong, it’s because there’s money and power to be had. Think of tax increases due to marriage (tax penalties)as well as social control of minors. Take them out of the home and sell them to someone else.
I’m glad these ‘kids’ (adults) are speaking up. I wonder how many more will speak out about being molested?
