In Defense of Marriage
Ok, so if preaching tolerance and love for all doesn't work (you know the religious right, never met a Christian teaching they really liked), let's jump on the bandwagon and take this fight to its logical conclusion.
If we're really going to get serious about defending the institution of marriage, we need to deal with the number one threat to it -- divorce.
S0, before we can even begin to get into gender, let's get that no-divorce legislation going. We are going to make it illegal to obtain a divorce, no matter what. Some of our older Congressmen will have to forgo the new trophy wife, but it's for a good cause, so I'm sure they'll be ok with it.
The next time you hear someone giving you the "defense of marriage" anti-gay marriage speech, hit them with the #1 threat to marriage and ask them to start legislating on THAT.
After all, you're either serious about this problem or you're not.

LOL I like that. You've got to talk to them at their level and this arguement meets that goal.
Do you know who first defined the term "marriage"? Was it something that people got from the bible, or was it a term already in use when the bible referenced it?
hey, good idea, don't get out much so I haven't really seen the argument anywhere--spread it around. thanks
