There is no causality between gay marriage and the 'breakdown' of marriage. In other words, gay marriage does not directly change the trend of marriage as an institution - period. not created by homosexual marriage. That is sloppy thinking. It could certainly be that the trend in some cases was flowing toward “marriage strength”, but that the introduction of homosexuality caused it to shift toward weakness. I do not make this argument, I simply here point out how ignorant of reason you are. At this point, I have acknowledged that we have no “proof” that homosexual marriage alone destroys marriage, but that when it is introduced into a society it indisputably becomes a major force in locking in the trend of marriage decay, destroying marriage and weakening families. It is the knife that finishes off the sick, but potentially recovering patient.So, the logic is that if the state recognizes gay marriages, people will be less inclined to get married? Just where is the 'data' to support that? Just where is the LOGIC to support that? Conveniently, the author cites some of the cause/effects of the rate of nonmarital births in these countries, then somehow leaps to gay marriage as a "major" cause. Take an example. It rains a lot in a rain forest. The rain causes erosion. Also, there is a high incidence of malaria. Using your logic, one can draw a cause/effect between erosion and malaria. Get it? You talk a lot about honesty and lying in your posts. I wonder if you will ever come to grips with how your homophobia is distorting your perspective. I doubt it, but there is always hope for you...
