The anti-marriage amendment is just one more cynical and nasty attempt by the Republicans in the legislature to turn out a few votes.

Marriage is mostly a special deal for people who have committed themselves to one another for a lifetime (well, at least those are the traditional words) and it almost always involves a man and a woman who anticipate loving and caring for one another “until death do us part.” Some take that literally when things get bleak and take things into their own hands, but the majority of us believe we’ll ride things out for better or worse to the end of the string. Marriage for any society interested in preserving itself also usually involves children we will produce, small persons we will love, nurture and try to instruct in how to live good and decent lives and be kind to others.
