Recommended reading, and something I agree with, from David Frum: "
Why Do We Need Marriage Equality?" Because...
For a conservative, the remarkable thing about the movement for
same-sex marriage is that it is a civil rights movement that is less
about claiming rights than it is about accepting responsibilities.
Marriage is a source of great joy. But - and I speak as one who'll
celebrate a 25th anniversary this summer - it's also a solemn
undertaking: an undertaking to care for another person, to nurse that
person when ill, to sustain her or him in time of trouble, to raise
children together, to provide for those children, to mourn when it comes
time to mourn.
No agency of government can ever begin to do for anyone what loving
spouses do for each other. The stronger our families are, of every kind
of family, the less government we’ll need.
Whole thing
here.
