I could be wrong but I think heterosexual marriage is threatened more by heterosexuals. I don't know why gay marriage challenges my marriage in any way.

Another argument vaguer and even less persuasive is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation. But at the same time I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.

The impulse to cruelty is in many people almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love - almost as violent and much more mischievous.

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young the habituation of the middle-aged and the mutual dependence of the old.

I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

Above all we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage in reality does not help these people.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues the legal issues sexual harassment date rape women who kill and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.
