Obviously, marriage is for procreation and for training the next generation of men and women. Every child has a mother and a father and knows it. It is biologically impossible for two of the same sex to procreate. Men and women bring different strengths to the family and create a broader range of emotions, perspectives, skills and interests than do same-sex unions. Heterosexual unions are far more stable that homosexual ones, particularly in males.
Homosexual behavior is condemned in all major world religions.
Americans consistently have rejected for religious and ethical reasons same-sex unions. This initiative will have no effect on homosexuals legally. They will still be able to live together, leave property to one another, assign each other power of attorney and raise children together if they wish. But it will not give legal recognition to their same-sex union. The state has the obligation to define the legal parameters for marriage, including age, bigamy, polygamy, incest and mental capacity.
