Are Gays Too Late to Destroy Marriage?new

Could it be that traditional marriage, like communism, is an outmoded social contract straining under the weight of its own inflexibility? In the final analysis, it may not be same-sex marriage, but a simple insistence to self-determine, that's causing brittle institutions of church and state to crack.

Abie Babynew
Don't ever call anyone gay. Look at the trouble it got C.A. Tripp into. The author of the The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln died in 2003 and now has to lie in the cold, cold ground while fellow historians kick at his dirt. Tripp claims in his book that Honest Abe was honestly a poofter.
