My dear contry has opened the flood gates to ruin for the sacred union known as marriage.
PBrunsel, if you think gay and lesbian couples who have been together for years and years and finally have a right to marriage is ruining the sacred union known as marriage, then you apparentely haven't been looking around the nation the past several years.
Look at the divorce rates, and pay attention to the cases of abuse that have been going on for much longer then the concept of same-sex marriage has been around. From what I've seen, there's a severe
lack of love in this country, and too much ignorance and hate.
I mostly agree with Lunar, same-sex marriage is not a right in and of itself, but government shouldn't have anything to do with marriage anyway. "Civil Unions" should be the term for every single couple, whether hetero or homosexual. "Marriage" should be reserved for what it was meant for -- the churches.
