Also notice the use of such charming phrases like "threat to families," to which I say Amen! How could you notice the perceived (and imaginary) threat of same-sex couples to marriage and not notice a good fraction of families are surprisingly efficient in self-destruction?
Married folks don't quite mind abusing their divine bond. About one third (this is arguable, because different studies quote different percentages, but lowest you get is about a quarter) of married couples drop their underwear outside their bedrooms.
Again, it's the heterosexuals who engage in frequent, messy, and obscene court battles over custody, infidelity, and everything they cook up to stink an entire courtroom. I don't care if they don't want to stay with each other, but why can't they just get it done amicably? Why do social resources have to be wasted over lengthy courtroom battles?
The Vatican is not the only insane representative of religions. Islam, its ever-fighting brother, is not far behind. They don't grab the headlines because Islamic societies, cultures, and countries are usually very hush-hush. But someone called Sheikha advises on the Aljazeera website, "The reason why gay marriage or homosexual behavior is prohibited in Islam and thus banned in Arab and Muslim states is the devastating effect and chaos it’d inflict on the moral and social fabric of society. Same-sex marriage is reversal of the natural order, it's a moral disorder. It’s violation of the limits prescribed by God."
When it comes to allowing the homosexuals to marry, the torchbearers of Jesus, Muhammad, and Vishnu share the same bed, eat from the same plate, and quote the same God. They don't want the word ‘marriage’ to come even remotely close to the homosexuals, but they don't mind killing each other with their God's approval (arguably).
Religious connotations aside, the most appalling part of the entire debate is the continued endorsement of "marriage-not-for-homosexuals" by a broad section of the Jacks and Jills climbing down the divorce hill. The only explanation is that it is not about principle, if ever there was one. It is all about power — the existing hegemony over marriage and divorce — the existing social supremacy.
Sad and equally bad.

Q Bit, Great day in the cornfield. How do you know Adam and Eve did just fine. My wife "Big Bertha" and I have been married 43 yrs and I still love each and every fold of her naked body. Sure she weights 352 beautiful pounds at 5'1' but what the hey. She looks sexy to me. Keeps me warm on cold nights. Maybe you should try Q Bit.
Bless you with the waters of the Lady of the holy Se[PUACAR}.
