Marriage revisited

In July 2008, hotelier and developer Doug Manchester donated $125,000 to help gather signatures for a proposition that would ban same-sex marriage in California. The early money was crucial to getting the initiative — which ultimately passed — on the ballot. At the time, he told The New York Times that he made the donation because of “my Catholic faith and longtime affiliation with the Catholic Church,” which preferred that marriage remain between a man and a woman. Indeed, the Catholic Church has vehemently opposed gay marriage. Then again, it’s also not too keen on divorce.

I’ve said this before, though maybe not here, but a lot of people have their priorities mixed up when they care more about 1% of the population ruining the sanctity of marriage when roughly 50% of marriages end in divorce.

Let’s start pushing for a proposition to ban divorce and see how people like it. If you think that makes less sense than letting gay people get married, maybe you should reevaluate some things.
