Dear Editor,
What sanctity is there to marriage? The divorce rate hovers around 50 percent … for hetero couples.
What is being done to solve this? Should we ban divorce? After all, we want to protect the sanctity of marriage, don’t we? Mandatory marriage counseling?
It’s asinine to believe that minorities are fighting for special rights; they are simply fighting for rights that have been denied them.
Think about it: In the 1960s, were black people fighting for the special civil rights? No. They were fighting for rights that had been denied them.
How would gay marriage affect your marriage? Would it make you run out and get a divorce? “Oh, now that gays can marry, I guess our marriage is meaningless, huh?”
It’s funny that the author of this letter uses the Bible as a justification.
First of all, this country is not a theocracy; just because the Bible says something doesn’t mean it’s automatically law.
Secondly, didn’t Abraham have three wives (Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah)?
Marriage is not the static institution the author would like to think.
And I doubt God would like you saying which marriages are and aren’t blessed.
There is nothing to agree or disagree with concerning homosexuality. “Disagreeing” with homosexuality is like disagreeing with something being green. Just because you’d rather it be blue doesn’t mean it’s “wrong” to be green, does it?
