"As the majority acknowledges, marriage “has existed for
millennia and across civilizations.” For all
those millennia, across all those civilizations, “marriage”
referred to only one relationship: the union of a man and a
woman.

nyet! monogamy is a relatively new and christian concept.
and the marriage ceremony involving the state is very very very new.
he would have been better served to have stated that marriage should not at all involve the state... hence remove the certificates, the tax benefits etc. this is the position for some in the lbgtq movement.
the reason this shifted to, alright we need to get marriage equality is because this would not be tenable among the ignorant majority.


"When sexual relations result in the conception of a child,
that child’s prospects are generally better if the mother
and father stay together rather than going their separate
ways."

fuck him. us single parent children are doing rather well.

"Therefore, for the good of children and society,
sexual relations that can lead to procreation should occur
only between a man and a woman committed to a lasting
bond."

and exactly who is stopping that from happening. earth is 7 billion strong and he's worried that there will be no more children? no we might need to slow down on that procreating.

"Society has recognized that
bond as marriage. And by
bestowing a respected status and material benefits on
married couples, society encourages men and women to
conduct sexual relations within marriage rather than
without."

yes gay folk will now respectfully fuck under the marriage certificate
and those of us not married will continue to fuck irregardless
fuck his morallity.

actually,, you know what.
reading this shit is just upsetting me for no reason
and a waste of my time
i actually thought he might have something to say
but its all verbal diarrhoea
