I notice that you ignored my post concerning the social impacts of recognizing homosexual marriage or civil unions or whatever you choose to call them. You keep calling me for not answering your questions, but then you don't address mine. Do you believe that allowing same sex marriage might have any negative long-term social impacts on society? Do you believe that continuing to loosen the meaning and intergrity of heterosexual marriage might interfere with the ability of the social pendulum to swing back to a place where society places more value on the benefits of stable long-term heterosexual relationships for the raising of children? Do you believe the research which says that the best environment for children to grow up in is a stable two-parent family with one male and one female parent?

Of course I agree with you. But I'm sure people who would be offended, won't.
