Independence doesn't - doesn't equate to moderates. Millions of independents are pro-life. Millions of independents believe marriage is between a man and a woman.

If one is going to change the definition of marriage to be quote 'same sex ' then there is absolutely no valid argument constitutionally or rhetorically you can make against multiple people getting married. These are radical social changes.

My argument is simple which is that for several thousand years in Western civilization marriage has been the union of one man and one woman. Research is overwhelming that children need mothers and fathers.

Particularly black Americans many of them from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage. Black Americans tend to have a higher degree of religiosity.

If Republicans want to be seen as more compassionate they should continue to stand proudly for the sanctify of life and marriage. And they should do so without apologizing.

There is something wrong with our culture when the view that marriage is between one man and one woman a view shared by half the nation is portrayed as evidence of hatred.

Obviously marriage is not a synonym for morality. But stable marriages and families do encourage moral behavior.

How long before we have not just homosexual marriage but homosexual unions between adult men and small boys?

I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was initially a very happy marriage.

I haven't been faithful to my wife. Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities. I was irresponsible.
