I have nothing against homosexuals. People can love and live with whomever they want, in whatever arrangement they desire. And if Marriage was just “a contract between any two people”, I wouldn’t be against same-sex marriage. But Marriage doesn’t just affect the people getting married- it affects any Children who are brought in from a previous relationship/ adoption/ donor, or who may be adopted/ created in the future.
Sometimes a moment of clarity can come from the most unexpected of places. It happened to me while I was tweeting with a liberal troll on Twitter who said, “GOP candidates in 2008 reflected party's moral/intellectual bankruptcy is the party of religious fanatics & hyper-wealthy”. While this statement is factually untrue, the troll makes a valid point regarding how the GOP has a serious messaging problem in terms of the people who represent us and how we are being perceived because of them.
