Who can and can't be married - and who one can and can't be married to - has been changing and evolving for thousands of years. It has only been 60 years in America that people of different races could marry in all 50 states - and there are still religions that will not allow their members to marry outside the faith. Like all social institutions, it adapts to new education and knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
That which does not evolve is destined to stagnate and rot. |
Are you trying to re-start that old CIRCULAR ARGUMENT about miscegenation again?
Redefining marriage for homosexuals isn't evolution, it's destruction.
It would be like re-writing the US Constitution based on no freedom, no rights for individuals and an economy based on Communist principles. In other words reversing all the principles on which the nation was founded.
The country might still be called the USA but it just wouldn't be the same.
