After listening to the California Supreme Court's hearing on the validity of proposition 8 and/or gay marriages (whichever way you want to look at it) off and on yesterday. And then discussing it in one my law classes, I have something to say on the subject.

Granting the right to have a marriage to a gay couple is not a threat to the traditional notion of marriage.

Divorce is.

And if you think that by preventing gay couples from marrying, you will not have discuss such relationships with your children, you are wrong. Gay couples raising children is a fact of life now and will be part of your children's future. I think it would be better to raise children to believe that when you love someone, you formally commit to a life together.
