My oldest brother Franklin is a homosexual. He and his partner Thomas have been together for 12 years. That is a longer union than most heterosexual couples who married. Statistically, 3/4 of today's marriages end in divorce, and the majority of Americans who divorce today - the problem stems more from the women's movement in the late sixties and early seventies. Women before this time, were all virtually housewives and workers along side of their husbands in the fields. It is a domino effect. WWII was the largest turning point in the lives of women in this country. They held America together and kept it running while the men were at war. They found a new sense of purpose and realized that they could do more than rely upon a husband and his philandering ways while they nurtured the children and tended house. This all came to a head during the women's movement and the ERA. Now, it has blossomed into a demented orgy of self indulgence and askewd views of what their role in society and relationships is 'suppose' to be. They are trying too hard to keep up with men and prove themselves as capable or be the same as men. Most marriages either end because of infidelity or financial problems. Historically, homosexuals were considered and were (and still are to an extent) very promiscuous. However; you look at gay men who are in relationships. They both work. They are usually professional, educated, and strong members of the community in which they reside. Most of these relationships are long term once a commitment is established between them, so in all honesty, why would the government wish to step in and tell them what they are doing is morally wrong by our country's 'Christian" standards? If that is the case, what ever happened to the separation of church and state? The government should not be able to pass judgement on what it considers morally right or wrong, and that is exactly what they are doing with this amendment.
