The only Trojans introduced into this topic are your own, as well as the strawmen you bring.
Vermont 4.2; Mass 2.5; DC 2.4; Conn 2.3; Iowa 3.1; NH 4.3.
States that recognize ss marriage - NY 3.4; RI 3.2; Maryland 3.4.
The national average is 4.1. Do the math.
Divorce Rate by state. Definition, graph and map.
If you look at the whole picture: marriage average age, average income, % of people being married, races mix, education level , you get the real picture. What you show is just propaganda.
If I say that DC has a 3% HIV infection rate similar to African countries how does that look ?
Marriage has been defined as between one man, several women; one man-one woman of the same race; arranged only; and indeed in several cultures, including the peoples on this continent before Europeans, including people of the same gender.
Polygamy is illigal in this country, there are other marital restrictions.
Read my post on the "beyond marriage manifesto" , it shows how ss "marriage" is just a trojan horse to destroy marriage.
Places like Scandianvia are down to 35% marriage rate. We call it marriage dissolution. That is the plan so you can validate homosexuality.
There is no "definition of marriage" except as that created by a culture/society, and our own "definition of marriage" has evolved in our own Nation's history as well.
It has always been between a man and a woman. That is the core of marriage Your so called redefinitions are just bogus propaganda.
Colonial Love and Marriage
BTW, those people
you love to hate because they show your bigotry to you, the APA, has found, through clinical rwesearch, that children raised in a household with two parenting figures of the same gender suffer no ill effects.
One more bogus claim. During the last prop 8 , they could not produce one study involving homosexual men and the studies with lesbians where quite limited.
You cant measure such a change over just a few years and these studies cannnot be done just by ss advocates with small samples.
I am not saying that everyone can be a good parent but there is a unique love that only a father or a mother provide.
True love would never deprive a child from a father or a mother's love. It is against nature
Your "love to hate" syndrom is just a disgrace !!
Sexual Orientation, Parents, & Children
Finally, no one is trying to change YOUR "definition of marriage". Christians will still e able to hold their cerimonies as they see fit, to whom they see fit. But as 1. Religious Doctrine is (supposed) forbidden from being turned into US Law, and 2. marriage is a civil contract that some Americans prefer to enact utilizing a religious wedding cerimony, there simply is no valid,s ecular reason to deny gays Equality of Marriage in a secular setting and/or those churches/religions that see homosexuals for what they are, perfectly normal human beings.
Religious liberty, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech are not limited to a few ceremonies inside of a church building. Communist Russia did that too
Thes ss "marriage' laws violate religious freedom, freedom of conscience and freeodm of speech. Basically they make homosexuality the state religion that no one can critisized. So many court cases are now prooving that what I am saying is true. It is totally un American and it will not fly
Nothing wrong with hating a hater.
At least here you are honest from your side on this one. You justify your hate and want the law to enforce it.
