Amy Day's thoughts on homosexual "marriage."

I rediscovered this article by Amy Day and decided to post it. (I found it in one paragraph, and spaced it into four.)

Our government doesn't recognize and regulate marital relationships based on the feelings of those involved, but because it recognizes the unique benefits to society inherent only to traditional marriage. No other relationship joins together and equally represents both genders in our dual-gendered society, nor can government provide or replicate the stability such voluntary relationships engender, nor can any other relationship properly provide for the needs of offspring which may result from dual-gendered coupling.

Marriages are not private relationships, such as friendships, but are public relationships with societal implications: hence government supports that which it did not create, but that which is inherently beneficial to us all. No other relationship in society, including same-sex or business relationships, can contribute to society that which traditional marriages can. Nor can/aught a few “we-the-people’s” arbitrarily, through judicial activism, neuter or redefine marriage for the rest of society, and leave all of society with the consequences of such an ill-conceived science experiment, using humans as guinea pigs.

Those who promote ssm have yet to provide compelling arguments for general societal acceptance of such radical changes to marriage, nor can they show, through time-tested means, benefits to society in general.

Name-calling is no substitute for reason.
