THE BATTLE FOR MARRIAGE CONTINUES

As the title of this posting suggests, the battle for the Sacred Institution rages on with the trial of California's Prop 8.
There is just one item that has this individual slightly confused, and that is when a party brings an action it would be logical to assume that one would use case precedents that are relevant to your particular argument. This however is not the case with the Prop 8 trial.
Supporters of same-sex marriage have used the 1967 Supreme Court case of Loving v. Virginia, and they couldn't be more off base. The central point in Loving is interracial marriage and as such has no bearing on the central questions of same-sex marriage.
Regardless of one's opinion on interracial marriage, the central point is still the union of one man and one woman, which is not only consistent with the natural order of things, but it's also in line with God's order of things, and in the final analysis that's all that really matters.
