British Government
Tries 'Equalize 'Marriage
Marriage is already equal, being fifty per cent male and fifty per cent female. A society
which aided and abetted by its government attempts to redefine it as
anything other than the coupling of a male and a female insults not only the
institution itself, but defies ordinary intelligence and contradicts the basic
facts of life.
Natural marriage is a sexual
contract designed for the propagation of the species and therefore requires
anatomical difference, not similarity. The love, affection, fidelity and
monogamy that subsequently attach to it underpin the relationship and ensure its
effectiveness, so that children are nurtured and the race continues to expand
and prosper. Christian marriage is all this and more, a picturesque
demonstration of Christ and His Church.
What is proposed in the legalization of single-sex ‘marriage’ is an
imitation of the real thing, a bastard concept born of populist politics and a
philistine disdain for tradition. That it has become necessary to question the
logic of traditional marriage suggests the argument in favour of it is already
lost. (AP)
