Michael Cook of MercatorNet posts this very relevant and important post. The article exposes the real tragedy behind same sex marriage.

A bioethics expert argues that laws ensuring that every child knows its mother and father are unethical.

Britain’s first same-sex marriages will take place this coming weekend.

Jubilant campaigners say that fears of an impending social calamity are nonsense.

In The Conversation, a law lecturer at Cardiff University, Leanne Smith, comments: “Ultimately, no institutions, religions, lifestyles or individuals have been harmed … The advent of gay marriage changes virtually nothing – but by validating gay relationships, it will transform lives and spread happiness.”
