“Marriage is neither a conservative nor a liberal issue; it is a universal human institution, guaranteeing children fathers, and pointing men and women toward a special kind of socially as well as personally fruitful sexual relationship. Gay marriage is the final step down a long road America has already traveled toward deinstitutionalizing, denuding and privatizing marriage. It would set in legal stone some of the most destructive ideas of the sexual revolution: There are no differences between men and women that matter, marriage has nothing to do with procreation, children do not really need mothers and fathers, the diverse family forms adults choose are all equally good for children. What happens in my heart is that I know the difference. Don’t confuse my people, who have been the victims of deliberate family destruction, by giving them another definition of marriage.”

I thought it was very applicable.

The bottom line is that the logic used to justify gay marriage is the same that is used to justify all sorts of other destructive and disgusting types of “marriage”. Pedophiles, incestuous lechers, and other such types will be overjoyed at Pat’s comment. Perhaps Pat ought to see the similar justifications used by the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) to get a feel for where this logic will lead.

Sadly, the fact that Pat chooses to ignore the consequences this kind of thinking will have on family life is indicative of the self-imposed blinders with which he has chosen to burden his intellect.

You really have to disabuse yourself of this irrational baggage, Pat.
