Blame Game.
Whoa! Our minds are totally blown. For years we’ve heard that the gays threaten marriage. According to conservative journo Felicia Benamen, the baby boomers shoulder some of the responsibility: “We place too high a priority on making sure everything else in our life is set before we marry someone when really marriage could be that blessing to propel two people to new heights. My generation has such a negative view of marriage. They have been shown that example from the Baby Boomer generation (which has produced a staggering divorce rate).” We sure are relieved not to be the only scapegoat! [RenewAmerica]
Well, it’s a step in the right direction. At least there is an acknoledgement that even when the “right” gender combination is in place, marriage fails – at increasingly high rates. Maybe, just maybe, this will make it clear that it’s love – not sexual organs – that make a marriage work. And it’s the lack of love – not sexual organs – that make a marriage fail. I hope Felicia and her political acolytes begin the logical journey to this conclusion as soon as possible…they may have no choice given what’s already beginning to happen with gay marriage.
