@@toppyclashofclans8397 marriage was created by God. That’s why it’s so intimate and the desire for it to be a life long monogamous relationship, not ironic that it’s typically the only way it actually works. If it were just something we decided to do through evolutionary process, not many would care about adultery, it’s just mating. Who says I get to have only my husband for the rest of his and my life? How dare I be so selfish. If survival of the fittest were the most important thing, then we would want to procreate with a bunch of partners and marriage would be completely unnecessary. To some, it is. But the logic doesn’t track. You either have a marriage the way God ordained it - whether you’re Christian or not, monogamous, life long partnerships. Or you don’t and don’t need to get married at all. But that creates all types of other problems. I agree the government should have nothing to do with marriage and it should be completely religious. I understand why non religious people want to do it but only for legal reasons- if government would stay out, only people who desired what a real relationship is supposed to be would do it, because they want to, not because the law says now to separate you have to go through all this. I’m not still with my husband because the law tells me to stay but because I’m committed to him and him alone. Commitment isn’t a government attribute, that is a heart issue. Of course I’m not saying that the ONLY reason non Christian’s get married is for legal reasons but it really would be pointless if it didn’t come with some level of legal rights. As a Christian, it’s not about legal rights at all, it’s not even necessarily about “love” but commitment - which elements of love certainly fall within - but if it were arranged I’d still be with my husband because I made a commitment before God, and THAT is binding. Marriage was created to show how to sacrificially love someone unconditionally, the way Christ loves us.

It could be down to the male/female wage gap. Every now and then, I see somebody I respect spouting off statistics saying the wage gap is real, and then somebody else I respect spouts off statistics saying it's not real. It may be that on average, lesbian couples have a higher income than heterosexual couples.

They literally look like something one would check for in the closet or under the bed in their child's room.
I used to go with the motto, "live and let live" however, many ethical BOUNDARIES have been crossed, especially in regards to young children. This is exactly what the LGBTQST cult is shooting for, all in the name of "love, equality, inclusiveness and tolerance ".
They're shoving their lifestyle down people who disagree with it, throats.

The inferential logic of imputing to all lesbian relationships the shortcomings of reportedly troubled Scandinavian lesbian relationships is one weakness in this argument. Another weakness is about how violence in lesbian relationships reported in Scandinavia compares to unreported domestic violence that occurs in non lesbian relationships. The incidence of mental illness and violence in the Scandinavian world arising from very long dark days and lack of sunlight is well documented. Do you have evidence that the effects of long dark nights or days and their resulting mental illness are in no way connected to violence in lesbian relationships there? So much is lacking from this video. It’s a good example of guilt by omission. I hope to hear more about Scandinavian lesbianism and it relationship to the movements of the sun and the earth. Are similar findings available in non-Scandinavian communities?
