Anti-gay marriage law overturned in CA.

[ysobelle]

The thing I don't get, and that NO conservative has yet to explain logically, is how allowing gay and lesbian couples to get married affects heterosexual marriages. Will two men getting married somehow make my parents, who will celebrate 50 years in a few weeks, suddenly get a divorce? And how is allowing stable same-sex couples who've been together for decades somehow a worse influence on the idea of marriage than a celebrity marriage that lasts days, if not mere hours?

Obviously, same-sex partnerships have very little impact either way on hetero ones.
The Netherlands has been allowing legal same-sex partnerships for years and hasn't been struck by lightning yet.

*shrugs* I'm sure it all goes back to keeping women in their places (as defined by non-women). Admitting that same-sex marriages are all right pokes holes in the foundations of traditional patriarchy.
