[quote=Anonymous]My point being is that same sex marriage represents a  VERY radical shift on the meaning of marriage, an institution that has been the bed rock of civilization for thousands of years, and think of me what you will, but the notion makes me very apprehensive.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

If people were marching in the streets saying, &quot;Outlaw hetero marriage!  Outlaw traditional families!  Only same sex marriages from now one!&quot;  THEN I would agree that this is a radical shift in the fabric of society and you might be right to be apprehensive.  But seriously, I don't think that giving gays the right to marry is going to impact our society so negatively that any one needs to be apprehensive.  People will still get married.  Have babies.  Be responsible for them.  Some of those people will even STAY married.

Hetero divorce is a more serious cultural problem than gay marriage.

Just giving this minority the same rights all the rest of us have is not going to make the sky fall.  Just like Civil rights and women voters - despite the hand-wringing at the time - didn't spell the doom of our civilization.

You should focus your energy on more important threats to our families.  Can't safely raise your kids if it's 115 degrees outside, in a drought, no potable water, no food...  [/quote]
