In the recent protests against the new civil rights law that has just been passed, it seems that people have been shouting themselves hoarse that it will lead to legalized gay marriage in the state – despite the fact that the law specifically says it won’t. However, this presents an opportunity to ask a question I’ve been dying to ask.

How exactly would gay marriage end society as these protesters seem to claim? As a gay man, my dreams for the future are fairly conservative dreams. I’d like to meet a nice guy, fall in love, eventually get married and get a nice house and a white picket fence. Sometime down the road, we might adopt a child or two. After that I just want a normal life coaching my son’s Little League team or helping out with my daughter’s bake sale. Going to school plays, attending PTA meetings and watching and helping them grow. I want to smile and cheer at their graduation and cry at their weddings. I want to bounce my first grandchild on my knee. I want to grow old and spend my life with the man I love and the family he helped to raise.

None of that has happened yet, but that’s the life I’m going to live. So please tell me: How is that “gay agenda” going to end up destroying civilization as we know it?
