To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, if I scream at the top of my voice that a tail is as good as a leg, how many legs does as dog have? Four. Calling a tail a leg, does not make it so. Like wise a demented fool like Ana Marie Cox can scream, rant and rave that some same sex marriage ought to be the equal of traditional, one man, one woman marriage.
I hold every child ought to have both a mother and a father, and not just one real parent. Same sex marriage can never put a child into the same family as both his mother and his father. It is therefore not equal to traditional marriage, from Guardian [1](UK)
There are no pink processionals crowding the streets of Durham, and while my St Paul neighborhood sees a lot of pairs of women pushing one stroller down the street, I have yet to be invited to the big “WE ARE UNDERMINING THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOUR MORALITY” party, which social conservatives seem to imagine taking place just out of sight. The fact is, both of these initiatives are propelled less by the presence of an in-your-face homosexual “agenda” than by the gradual, inevitable, and growing normalization and acceptance of gays and lesbians as complete equals in our society. From the perspective of anti-equality activists, the flood waters – probably consisting of Evian – have already breached the dam. And these measures are life-rafts.
That baby in St. Paul has a father somewhere. I, for say, that fathers are not disposable. What say you?
