The BIGGEST threat to conventional marriage is divorce. Most industrialized nations now have divorce rates of 50%. That means HALF of all marriages fail.

Has the legislation against same-sex marriage had ANY effect on that.. not at all.

To give homosexual couples the same legal rights as spouses has NO EFFECT on whether people will continue to rape the concept of marriage. I would think that the inability of a heterosexual man or woman to stay true to their spouse is the GREATER threat to "traditional marriage".

Why do we have to choose between threats?

Divorce and homosexual marriage are both threats to traditional marriage





Marriage is no safer because of this bill. The ONLY effect it has had is to marginalize certain people...

A homosexual couple is not the same as an opposite sex couple - and never will be.

I wouldn't call that "marginalisation" but I suppose you can if you want to be divisive


oh and of course given your conscience a boost as you seem to have truly "fought the good fight.. for freedom and morality". Incidentally when you start dictating morality, 'Freedom" is the first right to go.
