SSM AND DIVORCE: Sara Butler
...The other thing that puzzles me about
Mr. Sullivan's response is that apparently
Ms. Morse is the first oppponent of same-sex marriage he's found who is also concerned about the impact no-fault divorce has had on our marriage culture. That's kind of funny because I thought there was this whole marriage movement thing, some members of which also oppose same-sex marriage, that's kind of devoted to trying to strengthen marriage and reduce the divorce rate.
Excuse my complaining for a moment, but I'm getting a little tired of gay marriage advocates who seem think they discovered the topic of marriage and that no one in our society was even talking about it until the issue of same-sex marriage came up. I’ve criticized some opponents of same-sex marriage in the past for paying too little attention to the other dangers to marriage in our society, and I still think there are people out there who do that. It's just not true, though, that everyone who opposes same-sex marriage falls into that camp. But it sure is useful for advocates of same-sex marriage to suggest that's the case, since it if it were, it would support their argument that the only reason anyone opposes same-sex marriage is because they hate gays.
