Marriage: Is the Union of One Man and One Woman - Period

I get letters from a lot of policital groups lately as the elections draw closer.
Where else would a smart group go but to the fountain of knowledge found here at LQ?

From: Center for Moral Clarity

Dear Hank:

Recently the California Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution requires recognition of same-sex marriages, overruling a 2000 law approved by more than 60 percent of the state’s residents.

As a member of the Center for Moral Clarity, a national Christian grassroots organization, we are outraged by this wildly overreaching decision. Voters of all faith backgrounds, and even those of no religious persuasion, have long respected the biblical model of marriage, the union of one man and one woman.

My questions for you are simple: Do you support the definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, or would you support granting marriage rights to same-sex couples?

Will you be honest and open about this position? We are only some of many readers who will be anxiously awaiting your answer to these questions.

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Center for Moral Clarity

Response:

Dear Center for Moral Clarity,

I know the definition of marriage as described by God is the holy union between one man and one woman – period!

I am against a Constitutional Amendment or bill changing that definition in any way, shape or form.

However, since it is the states that grant marriage licenses, it is a state issue. My opinion on any federal legislation will depend on the Constitutionality of the legislation, as well as the actual definition spelled out.

I would not be opposed to any type of civil contracts between any two consenting adults. That is none of my business.

Open and honest is all I can be – which is why both Republicans and Democrat fear me. - Hank Dagny
