(introduction)
|
- Allowing homosexuals to "marry" would:
- change the definition of "marry"
- represent a sweeping change to (American) society
- not be supported by the Constitution
- be yet another potentially devastating social experiment
- ...without any prior examination of the possible effects
- ...without any attempt to determine if American citizens want whatever effects seem likely
- "The Left" is trying to make this happen against the will of the American citizenry

Marriage Is Already Open to Everyone
|
- Gays are already free to marry opposite-sex partners, and are therefore not currently being discriminated against.
- In order to claim discrimination, they have to change the definition of "marriage".
- Society does not benefit in any way from labeling the bonding of homosexual lovers as "marriage".

Marrying Is Hard to Do
|
- The social need for man-woman unions is apparently very strong:
- Men and women naturally segregate from each other
- And yet the union of a man and a woman has been a cultural imperative for all of human history
- Children learn their sex roles from the parent which matches their sex
- The Left would like to see the learning of sex roles break down (which is why they support gay marriage)
- If the breakdown in learning of sex roles causes problems, The Left will use this as a pretext to further break down the family

The War On Marriage
|
- Marriage is in the process of being systematically destroyed.
- This is evidenced by the dramatic increase in divorces and the number of children who are born out of wedlock and grow up without a father.
- This destruction has been going on for two generations.
- The lives of children who grow up with one parent missing are "deformed"
- Growing up with one parent missing is worse than growing up poor, even if you have plenty of money
- When one parent is missing, it is usually the father
- Only fathers can:
- laying down the groundwork for a sense of moral judgment
- give praise that is believable
- believable praise is necessary for genuine self-confidence
- Concession: some marriages are bad for the kids, and some divorced parents are able to raise kids jointly
- ...but most kids would rather have both parents at home
- Most kids would prefer that parents acquire the strength or maturity to change their behaviors so no divorce would be necessary
