The point is, it shouldn't BE illegal.

I don't smoke pot - I don't drink alcohol much (champagne on New Year's Eve about covers it) - I don't smoke cigarettes - I don't hire prostitutes - I don't gamble - there's a lot of things that I don't engage in myself, but I object to others demanding that those who want to partake stop doing so.

To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, if it doens't break my arm or pick my pocket, I don't care! And nobody else should either. To the best of my knowledge we don't elect a Head Honcho of All That is Moral in this country.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
