Upside Down

It’s a sign of how upside down the world has become that we’re actually having a debate over whether marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman. For thousands of years, across every culture, before the church existed, even before there was a state, there was no debate about this. Marriage was between a man and a woman. Period.

This was to bring up children in stable, loving homes and to protect women from abuse and exploitation. Yes, certain pagan societies idealized homosexual relationships–to the detriment of women–but marriage was a heterosexual institution. And it will remain that, whatever the Supreme Court rules. You can call homosexual relationships and arrangements anything you want, but one thing they are not … is marriage.
