This is a really important point not often heard in the current debate. "Being in love" is not the sole reason for marriage. It's not even the main one. And for most of human history, it wasn't even considered terribly important for a marriage.
But in the modern debate, I have actually seen homosexual "marriage" advocates turn this against the marriage defenders. Andrew Sullivan in particular baited his opponents into admitting that the institution of marriage placed reproduction rather than love as its core principle. That allows the gay side to claim "love" as their side of the issue. It's about as perverted and corrupt as one might expect, but it appeals to a certain corrupted morality that pervades our society.
Advanced modern thinking keeps finding more and more reasons in favor of things that used to be considered murder, such as abortion, mercy killing, and preemptive war.
I just KNEW there was a Bush-bash in here, somewhere!
Actually the homosexual communtiy has considered it -- as part of a well planned and well funded campaign to destroy marriage:
An excerpt from: In Their Own Words: The Homosexual Agenda:
"Homosexual activist Michelangelo Signorile, who writes periodically for The New York Times, summarizes the agenda in OUT magazine:
...to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's moral codes, but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution... The most subversive action lesbian and gay men can undertake --and one that would perhaps benefit all of society--is to transform the notion of family entirely." "Its the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statues, get education about homosexuality and AIDS into the public schools and in short to usher in a sea change in how society views and treats us."
An excerpt from: Homosexual Priests: A Time for Truth:
"The homosexual movement has a history of trying to claw its way into places its agenda doesn’t belong, not for the betterment of mankind, but simply to legitimize and normalize perverse behavior. This is apparent in the all-too-common need of homosexuals to declare their sexuality rather than simply do the job they sign on to do.
The homosexual movement is marked by two major tendencies: the tendency to continually infiltrate all good aspects of society; and once they have achieved that, the tendency to destroy this good. Public education, the Boy Scouts, the military, and now the Catholic Church have been targeted, and all have been hurt by the effects of homosexuality. The media and the Church must break its silence towards this enemy. If they do not, the people themselves must rise up and expose it..."
