The decision last week by the California Supreme Court to uphold same-sex marriages will do very little in the way of gaining the approval that homosexuals are so desperate to receive. It will instead, produce in pro-marriage groups more determination to fight the idiotic pro-gay rights that have infiltrated so much of sane society. We must ask ourselves, why gays are so desperate for this "approval?"
Our state constitution already defined marriage as "a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between and man and a woman, to which the consent of the parties capable of making that contract is necessary." Citizens already know that civil unions do not have the same respect and equality as marriage. So gays worked to steal the word "marriage" for their own relationship description, hoping it would lend more credibility to their union. But almost more importantly, gays cannot produce children, meaning that they cannot continue creating and furthering society the way man/woman marriages can.
In a man/woman marriage, sexual relations also produce children. In gay marriage it's nothing more than sex for gratification. Man/woman relationships produce children and society continues. What gays do sexually is for pleasure only, and does not produce the "results" of a hetero sexual relationship. Homosexuality cheapens sex in that by claiming that what they do sexually is "okay," then any and all sex is okay. That's not a healthy message to send kids. For a society that has been trying to stop teenage promiscuity, STD's, illegitimate children and abortions, telling high school kids that it's okay to be gay (and having gay sex) is a conflicting message.
No amount of legislation or judicial activism will produce the approval homosexual couples are seeking for the gay lifestyle. Marriage cannot be and will not be legislated. Marriage is more than the legal description, and that's why gays are fighting for this same societal approval.
