If there is a separation between church and state, why can homosexual couples get married?
Church has nothing to do with it. Every society in the history of mankind, no exceptions, NONE, has defined marriage as involving a man and woman, regardless of religion. Some allow plural marriage, but these don’t involve four women being married to each other and one man, they involve four women being married to one man. Marriage, for many reasons including that it provides most children with both a father and a mother, has been the bedrock of every society in history. But that doesn’t matter to people who think that history began when they were born and that they are so brilliant, so wise, so far-seeing, so above the common heard, that they can throw out a relationship that has been found to work in every society in human history and make up a new one–and then impose it on the rest of us through a few ACLU-type lawsuits.
