The article goes on to say that about half the states still have laws criminalizing adultery. I suppose in a society where every form of sexual behavior is not only legal, but actually held up as a fine and wonderful model for kids, why not? And for most legislators, I'm sure, it sure makes them feel better about what they are doing behind closed doors.
Gay marriage won't destroy the institution of marriage. That was already done with no-fault divorce and the (de facto) decriminalization of adultery and fornication, which effectively made state sanctioned marriage a purely financial matter.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that gay marriage doesn't destroy the institution of marriage. (It destroys the institution of federalism and popular sovereignty instead.) The real problem is no-fault divorce and widespread moral decline.
