Great column in Portland Press Herald - Overturning marriage bill has no value

[fight4my3sons]

It's Sunday collection time at Our Lady of Equality Church. The usher, having already passed by once, is coming around again. And the gentle, kindly Church Lady is confused

Church Lady (whispering): Excuse me, young man, but what's this extra collection for?

Usher: To save society, ma'am.

Church Lady: I beg your pardon?

Usher: It's the new same-sex marriage law, ma'am. We need to overturn it – and fast.

Church Lady: Oh, my. I just read about that in my newspaper last week. But I thought the article said it was only about civil marriage and it has nothing to do with churches?

Usher: It doesn't – not directly. But the bishop is worried that if men start marrying men and women start marrying women, society will collapse. You see, ma'am, same-sex marriage, church or no church, is very, very dangerous. These people will stop at nothing until they've torn the social fabric to shreds.

Church Lady: But Ted and Ray, they're such nice young men, have been living next door to me for the past 15 years and they haven't torn anything. They even bring me vegetables and flowers from their garden in the summer, and in the winter they shovel my doorstep without me even asking. How can that be dangerous?
