Perhaps I should refrain from gay marriage comments until I've read the Russian novel Eric wrote late last week (against) and the email my sister sent me late last week (for), neither of which I've more than skimmed. But I basically agree with Lily's comments that slippery slope arguments from the right are overblown (I think slippery slope arguments from the left, regarding the FMA, are also overblown, but that's a different question). I don't think this (quite, at least) equates with the civil rights movement -- differences of sex are more substantial than differences of race, and the "civil disobedience" is largely being conducted by government officials. I do wish to comment on this:The vast majority of marriages will be between a man and a woman. (The divorce rate will remain at around fifty percent, as homosexuals will prove no better at living up to their vows than heterosexuals have been lately.)I don't know whether homosexual marriages will be more or less successful than the recent heterosexual kind, but I agree that it won't affect the divorce rate much, because they will be such a small fraction of the marriages. |
