What is the purpose of same-sex "marriage"?
One purpose of same-sex marriage is to increase the likelihood of harm to children exposed to these relationships.
It's great that Maggie and John can have this civil conversation. The audience can learn and decide for themselves w/o the typical drama that usually results from the marriage redefinition debate.
Kudos to both of them for conducting themselves in such a respectful manner.
Ellie, shouldn't campuses promote the free exchange of ideas? Or are campuses only for dictating how students should think? A robust debate, wherein both sides present their ideas, is good for learning.
I hope they debate idea of promoting children as the latest must have accessory in a same sex friendship.
Children are not pets, or accessories.
Speaking of SSM and parenting, this blog post by a child of surrogacy is a compelling read:

Wonder if Sir Elton John and his "partner" might have reconsidered their choice if they'd read this:
"My mother came back into my life a year ago but i had to beg and plead with my adoptive mother to let her do so. I just stood and stared at her for the longest time. It was so comforting to see someone who looks like me because I didn't look much like my father. I have her hair and eyes. I have her nose and smile. There was an increible sense of recognition. Just to see her gave me a sense of belonging to the human race. I no longer felt like I crawled out from under a rock or was dropped off by an alien spaceship. I had a mother and she looked like me. My brothers and sister looked like me too. She cried and held me in her arms and I felt like that tiny baby she had given birth to 17 years ago and was holding for the first time. I felt like I finally came home.
Because somewhere between the narcissistic, selfish or desperate need for a child and the desire to make a buck, everyone else’s needs and wants are put before the kids needs. We, the children of surrogacy, become lost. That is the real tragedy."
DOE- after reading the article and going to Brian's Blog I wonder if you knew that Brian is gay? I think this will be very interesting if he feels the same way about gays using surrogates as parents? If his feelngs have not changed in the last five years, his voice would be a strong voice in opposition to gay adoption. Interesting indeed.
