>>>I've heard about every slippery-slope argument about how same-sex marriage adversely affects the fundamental American family. I hope Congress slaps him silly for this one.

>>I've yet to hear one argument that it positively affects the fundamental American family. I hear a lot about how it does and doesn't adversely affect, but nothing saying that it is a good thing. On the other hand, same-sex marriage does seem to be conducive to a good family environment.

>Why should anyone have to make such an argument? And who are you, or anyone else, to define what a "fundamental American family" or "good family environment" is? How arrogant. To me this kind of thinking is completely contrary to the principles this country stands for -- individual liberty and the right to live unoppressed by the state. We've sure gone to a lot of trouble for nothing if we no longer believe in that. It doesn't mean you believe in everyone's choices. It just means you believe in their right to make those choices.
