Supreme Court ruling fails to sanctify gay marriages

Alan Colmes recently commented on Fox News on the U.S. Supreme Court’s disposition of the gay-marriage case. He spoke twice from both sides of his smiley face that through this ruling, gay marriage was “sanctified.”

No way! The act of “sanctification” is a religious right, not that of SCOTUS or Alan’s bully pulpit.

As I have said in the past “marriage” is the spiritual and physical union between a man and woman to live and love together with the goal of having children to allow that family and the human race to continue. The last part is not physiologically possible between partners of the same sex and thus the union between them should not be called a “marriage” but a “civil union” – with all the benefits available to a traditional “marriage,” which is the reason for this issue.

Apparently a trading of “power of attorney” covering of benefits’ and other access (i.e. hospital and health issues) has been lost along the way. “Common- law” unions have been recognized for years, so why not now? This secular “mis”ruling intrusion into religious liberties and freedom is being attacked by this Supreme Court “on this fabricated issue with misinterpretations of the Constitution as formed and written by our forefathers’ based on their Judeao-Christian morals.
