Marriage and the Family

Marriage has always been defined throughout history as a social and legal union between a man and a woman to live as husband and wife and become a family, possibly conceiving or adopting and raising children. Just because two men or two women or a man and a giraffe may live together and share their lives does not make them married. There is no reason to directly contradict thousands of years of precedent.

Marriage laws are non-discriminatory, provided the marriage is between a man and a woman. There never has been a fundamental right for one person to marry another person of the same sex. Civil unions currently provide many of the same benefits for gays and lesbians in some states. In other states, filing a few legal documents does the same thing.
