Pro-Gay Writer is Anti- "Gay Marriage"

Why does the state endorse marriage--because two people feel strongly about each other, or because we wish to promote solid homes for having and raising children? It is the latter, according to this liberal writer. Marriage is not about coupling. It's about promoting a healthy atmosphere for healthy children. The strength of Rosie's and Ellen's and Mr. Sulu's feelings are not the point.

Contrary to what homosexual activists assume, the state doesn’t endorse marriage because people have feelings for one another. The state endorses marriage primarily because of what marriage does for children and in turn society. Society gets no benefit by redefining marriage to include homosexual relationships, only harm as the connection to illegitimacy shows. But the very future of children and a civilized society depends on stable marriages between men and women. That’s why, regardless of what you think about homosexuality, the two types of relationships should never be legally equated.
