I, for one, am looking forward to this. I agree with President Bush that family is the cornerstone of our society and that marriage should be protected from those who would misuse it. I have a couple ideas for the amendment.
1) Distribute marriage licenses only after the couple has attended classes where they learn basic child care and discuss their child rearing, sexual, religious and financial principles. This would really cut down on our divorce rate, as those pesky arguments about money, sex, god and children would happen before the caterer is chosen.
2) Disallow divorce while there are minor children in the family, unless there is provable abuse. All of this "We're good friends, but we're just not really in love anymore, so I think everyone would be happier if..." bullshit would go away.
I can't work it out logically in my head that Britney Spears can get drunk and married on a whim in Vegas, then six months later marry another guy with two children at a wedding with a "Pimps N Hoes" theme, but two men who have been together for years and want to raise a child together will be constitutionally unable to do so. Please. Someone explain this.

Sorry can't do it. For some reason conservatives feel like they wont be able to get married anymore, that marriage will lose its sacredness or something. Ya marriage is real sacred, 50% of all marriages end in divorce, thats real sacred, marriage is so important. The only thing that threatens marriage is divorce, not 2 chicks who live in Seattle who have been together for 7 years and will have no affect on anyone living in Alabama and Mississippi.
What these guys so often forget is the children. The children of divorced parents have a much tougher time in school and forming relationships. The ones I've known have been more likely to suffer from depression - and be promptly medicated. The reason family is the cornerstone of our society is: the children grow up to become the society.
I remember my father being very scared of the gays. With their parades and their perversion. "And now they're in the SCHOOLS!" he'd say, and I'd try to picture that. I fully expected an assembly any day at school with gay men in leather telling us about themselves and why we should be like them.
You'd think the leader of the crumbling free world would have more dire matters to worry about than two men having sex.
You would think they have more to think about, thats my thought exactly, and frankly why I have the stance I have on the matter. If gay people make up 3% of the population and lets say 59% of them want to get married which is about the amount of heterosexuals that get married then we are talking about less than 2% of the population that this would affect. Shit, bed wetting is a bigger issue! Were talking about less than 500,000 people, more people have Aids, Cancer, single parents, etc. The list goes on with how many other things actually matter to the person sitting next to you.
If Christians put as much time into keeping marriages together as they do from preventing people from getting married the divorce rate would be a lot lower. But apparently God thinks divorce, rape, murder and aids is ok but they must do his will in stopping gay marriage, which the bible says nothing about.
