Sanctity of marriage? SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE?! Are you fucking kidding me? Marriage is so fragile that it needs a constitutional amendment to protect it?
Will this amendment stop bullshit weddings like the recent Britney Spears one? There's nothing sanctimonious about that marriage. Will it suddenly stop the mammoth divorce rate? Will it protect those wonderful wholesome straight families where parents beat their children? Where spouses cheat - many times over?
I'm straight, and am personally of the opinion of Hamlet - "I say there shall be no more marriages!" - but I can't believe that same sex marriages will destroy all that is holy about marriage as spelt out in the above paragraph.
Sanctity of marriage. To paraphrase Max Shreck - "Bush. shame on you. No such thing. If my life has a meaning, it's that."
