It seems that the premiere couple leading the gay marriage march are filing for divorce, and in fact had been separated since 2006. (Fox News has the story here.)
Now, I know this is just one story, but it seems to me that it says something that the people who fought hardest to marry are now filing for divorce. It kind of makes the whole endeavor seem pointless, doesn't it? I mean, if you're going to get together with someone for a couple of years and then slip apart and get together with someone else, why fight for marriage?
Of course, we know that plenty of heterosexual marriages fail, as well, but that doesn't somehow validate what's going on here. What is needed is a strong understanding of what marriage is about. It isn't about legitimizing your sexual relationship with a person, and it isn't about tax deductions or social acceptance or anything like that. It is about a commitment to, for the rest of your life, devote yourself fully to another person.
I don't think very many people in the whole gay marriage debate understand this.
