I just read a bulletin about a California first grade class being taken to a gay wedding for a field trip. At the end of the article one person asks the question (referring to gay vs. “normal”) marriage, “What’s the difference?”
Good question. What is the difference? Today’s “traditional” marriage (which isn’t) has the parents get up, dump the children in the car, drive to the kiddy prisons daycares and schools, abandon the children there and go merrily off to “their own life.” They pick the kids up on the way home, grab some “drive through” or “zap and go” supper and race off, each member to his own activities.
Seriously, what difference does it make to a child in this kind of life whether his parents are the same or different sexes? He certainly isn’t getting the benefit of either mother or father, only “paid caretaker.”
Therefore shall a MAN leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his WIFE: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis2:24
But if any provide not for HIS own, and especially for those of HIS own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an atheist. 1Timothy 5:8
The aged women likewise… That they may teach the young women to be … keepers at home, … that the word of God be not blasphemed. Titus 2
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1Timothy 5:14
And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. Mal 2:15
“And didn’t God invent marriage? Why? Because He wants godly children. So be careful that you don’t misuse your wife.” (paraphrase)
Marriage is God’s invention and we humans have no right to go around re-defining what “marriage” means- whether we want to make between one working man and one working woman and a daycare worker, two people of the same sex, or a sheep and a horse-WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO CHANGE IT.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
