Debate Continues Over Gay Marriage Ban
WASHINGTON — Election year stunt or legislative rescue for society troubled by the breakdown of traditional families?
Those close to the Senate’s three-day debate over efforts to ban gay marriage are engaging that argument with all of the passion and volume of people fighting over legislation that stands a chance of passage.
One Republican senator says the amendment could open a rift in society as wide as the gulf over Roe v. Wade. Others say the very health of society depends on traditional families.
I am all about family values, but I think this fight is stupid, and generally against the precepts of freedom.
These peoples morality will be judge at the time of their death, as a society it is up to our families to take care of business, not the governments. There is far more damage being done by having throw away marriages and pathetic parental involvement. Involved parents will have a much more positive effect on society, no matter what they do in the bedroom, than dysfunctional hetero families will.
This fight, especially when talked about as a constitutional amendment, is bubcus… Future societies will judge this a pure folly given the scope of today’s “real” problems.
It makes me wonder if this isn’t simply a distraction from the real issues that congress does not want to actually tackle. You know like Securing Our Border and Our Country…
Notice how nothing real is actually going on in any of these areas. Lots of talk, no action.
