Marriage between one man and one woman has been the foundation
of the human family, and thus, civil society, for all time. It is
based on the biological complementarity of male and female and
their corresponding capacity to create offspring together.
Marriage between one man and one woman has been the foundation of the human family, and thus, civil society, for all time. It is based on the biological complementarity of male and female and their corresponding capacity to create offspring together. This is written into the fundamental laws of nature. Variations on marriage, such as polygamy, have always been rare and superficial. Even those married couples who do not have children owe their essential compatibility to nature, not emotion, custom or law.
Marriage between one man and one woman deserves special protection in society, because it is the best model for procreation and child rearing. Individual exceptions are irrelevant because they are not based in human biological identity and must remain unusual.
If same-sex marriage is introduced in America, it will only lead to the further weakening of marriage and family, as has been the case in Scandinavia. People there have logically concluded that if marriage is merely based on subjective social norms and not on objective and unchangeable realities, then why bother getting married at all? Fewer Europeans and Americans are marrying, and the consequences are disastrous.
Because activist judges and rogue politicians are intent on forcing same-sex marriage on the country, the Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution is the best way to legally protect real marriage.
