While reading the Supreme Court proceedings regarding the
legalization of gay marriage I couldn't shake the feelings and thoughts
regarding the passion and determination these people have for "equal"
marriage rights. And I say equal with
quotations because it really isn't.
Changing the way marriage occurs does not create equality for all, but
rather creates a ripple effect of change and perceived inequality that may
never be stopped.
Redefining marriage devalues the traditional and creates an
opening for any marriage to be deemed acceptable. The union between a man and a woman is no
longer the correct way, but just one of many ways people can be united with
another person. What happens when
someone fights for the equality of a man to marry an animal, or a child, or an
inanimate object? Ripples can't be
stopped, but rather go on and on until they fade. I think that by attempting to make all feel
equal within marriage by redefining it is only creating a ripple effect, where
eventually marriage will fade completely.
Because I am a Latter-Day Saint I believe in marriage
between a man and a woman. If you are
