Via the Acton Institue, I found an article entitledDivorced from Reality in Touchstone magazine:
Some four decades ago, while few were paying attention, the Western world embarked on the boldest social experiment in its history. With no public discussion of the possible consequences, laws were enacted in virtually every jurisdiction that effectively ended marriage as a legal contract. Today it is not possible to form a binding agreement to create a family. The government can now, at the request of one spouse, simply dissolve a marriage over the objection of the other.
A must read, in my opinion. We waste time fighting gay marriage when we should be fighting state marriage, for it is only in a situation where the state interferes with marriage that such a laughable thing as calling two people of the same sex married can occur.
