religion should be left the fuck out of it. It’s wrong my opinion to have religion play a role in a country that is supposed to have freedom of religion. And it’s why I’m so angry about all the furor about gay marriage in our country, trying to overturn Roe Vs. Wade, trying to prevent kids from learning about sex, etc.
Hear, hear.
It hit me the other day that their "traditional" marriage, one man and one woman, and defining a family as only a traditional nuclear family, is reducing the entire notion of family to one for the production of children. Not for mutual support, not for easy and efficient transfer and management of property (the other traditional reason for marriage), not for companionship--just reproduction. I don't argue that family and reproduction are related, but I think it's crazy that the only definition of family should mean breeding pairs.
