GIVE GAY COUPLES RIGHTS: Gail Schoettler, Dem. nominee for Colorado governor
...How unfortunate that some politicians, including Colorado Rep. Marilyn Musgrave and Sen. Wayne Allard, see political gain in isolating a significant percentage of our population. They claim that gay marriage threatens the institution of marriage as we know it, a union between a man and a woman. I am mystified as to why gay marriage threatens my marriage (which is to a person of the opposite sex) or anyone else's marriage, for that matter.
What really threatens the institution of marriage in this country is the high divorce rate. It's all the factors that contribute to divorce, including domestic violence, poverty, caring for disabled children or parents without help, and the enormous stress of catastrophic accidents or illnesses when you have no health insurance. Sometimes, it's a lack of commitment to your partner or your children. Or disagreements over values or education or money. There are countless reasons couples divorce, but I've never heard gay marriage cited as one of them by a divorcing couple.
