All the extensive and passionate advocacy for same-sex marriage has given the impression that marriage is a highly valued and cherished institution by the Left and gays, and that they wish it to be elevated in stature, rather than degraded. (See HERE)
However, when the definition of a word is diluted and bastardize, it is
reasonable to expect that its value and meaningfulness to society and in
the law would be diluted as well.
This is certainly true for the word
"marriage" following the public and court debates and legalization of
"same-sex marriage." (See HERE and HERE)
Not only was the definition diluted by including relationships that had
previously been implicitly excluded (the more inclusive the definition
the less prized the word), but its value and meaningfulness was
unavoidably diminished and further tainted by linking it to behaviors
that were once considered morally reprehensible, criminal in many
states, and "are scientifically and
objectively proven to be destructive." (See HERE and HERE)
And, as indicated in previous posts, the word "marriage" wasn't the only casualty
of legalized gay marriage. Other words, like "committed" and "fidelity"
and "monogamy" have also somewhat fallen prey
By legalizing same-sex
marriage and altering other marital and moral terms, the fundamental
institution of society has subsequently lost some of its appeal and
virtue and moral impetus. Dennis Prager wisely asks: "why do we so rashly overturn an institution that has served our society so well for thousands of years?" (See HERE)
