In reply to the discussion: Kirk Cameron Thinks Grammys' Gay Marriages Were An 'Assault On The Traditional Family' [View all]okaawhatever
(9,565 posts)to gay marriage I could see the lunacy of that remark. Once again the neo-conservative calling themselves Christian and then making themselves victims. Gay marriage has nothing to do with straight marriage. What do the gay couples do, run over to some straight couple's house and forcefully keep them apart?
I think the real assault on the "traditional" marriage comes from the stress of economic hardship being placed on it from unjust economic policies, having thousands of military members away from home during their child's formative years, ability to get a good education for their children, lack of health care for the parents or children, stress to the relationship from layoffs, lack of paid vacation or sick days, job insecurity and fear of economic devastation. I'm pretty sure if you made a list of things heterosexual couples wanted from our government to strengthen their marriage not letting gay people get married would be on the bottom, if it made the list at all.
