Many other states have done the same. But those laws will face serious legal challenges if gay marriage is ever legalized in just one state. Couples will travel to that state, get married and sue to have their marriages recognized at home. As this issue of the Freedom Club report goes to press the Vermont state legislature is considering ways to obey the state's Supreme Court's directive to mandate that gay couples receive benefits equal to those enjoyed by married couples. And homosexual activists in California now promise to introduce a bill that would fully legalize same sex marriage.
Traditional marriage is the norm in America.
It's not going away any time soon. Heaven forbid we ever go the way of Canada's province, Quebec, where it is now illegal for a woman to take her husband's name. Apparently marriage as a permanent institution has nearly disappeared there and the state considers it too expensive to make repeated name changes in its records. But we must not ignore the agendas of those who would water down marriage and the traditional family. These are and continue to be the foundation of a strong nation.
