Civil Unions Ridicule the Sanctity of Marriage (Encore from 2007)

    Those who voice opposition to same-sex "marriage" yet support civil unions insert a somewhat deranged school of thought into the national discourse. Proponents use the same tired buzzwords of 'equality' and 'diversity'. This semblance of altruism is something the public can do without. A snake is still a snake despite the euphemisms people invent.

    Civil unions would provide the legal approbation necessary for its advocates to gain access to the next generation. As the cultural supports for traditional, monogamous, heterosexual marriage are eroded away, the downside for the kids being denied an opposite sex parent will be astounding.
     Children being exposed in school and in society to the idea that they can ''marry'' either a boy or a girl when they grow up will have a confounding effect on the national psyche.

     Family infrastructure will suffer from the effects of instability as rates of adultery and divorce accelerate. Courts will be more logjammed than ever. And what will be the economic toll on health care as more dollars are allocated to treat AIDS, STDs and psychopathology?

     These are some of the projected consequences to creating a parallel institution that mimics authentic marriage.

     The important thing to remember about sexual politics is it's not about "rights". It's about an agenda hell-bent on redefining marriage (whoever you are infatuated with), family (whoever you live with) and relationships (fidelity is passe).

 No need to thank me. I'm always glad to help.
