Gay Marriage at JunkYardBlog

I don't know how drastically legalized gay marriage would change our culture, but I do know it would change things. Let me quote the final paragraph from B. Preston's post on the subject:

No one is an island. I keep beating on that point because it’s true. Gay marriage isn’t likely to affect my marriage or yours. But it will change the legal definition of marriage, and it will change the culture’s perception of the purpose and meaning of marriage, and will change how the society relates to marriage in terms of morality and law. The choices we make with regard to gay marriage today will affect our society for generations to come, possibly forever. Whether we like it or not.
