Gay Marriage Is Not About the Children

After reading Shelby Steele’s convincing argument on exactly why homosexual marriages would hurt our society, I felt the need to post.

Many hold Andrew Sullivan up as a model of reasonable thought, but his latest piece clearly deviates from logic into the realm of emotion. Steele takes each of his points and shows where he’s missing the boat.

Please note that Sullivan is not alone in misrepresenting gay marriage as similar to interracial marriage. As with Roe v. Wade, judges claim to find intent where there is none and that’s what Sullivan is doing with Loving v. Virginia. Like I’ve said before, this should be decided by the people not handed down from judges.

This is such an important issue facing our country, so for those of you thinking, “What’s the big deal?” Please do me a favor and read Steele’s Married With Children with an open mind. Our future depends on the choices we make today.
