Truth overruled by Ryan Anderson, it’s not over

Summary:  Marriage is, as the author Anderson explains,

“a human institution which predates the state. Why did it form? In order to make men and women responsible to one another, and to maximize the outcomes for both the adults and any children which result from their union. As such, "Marriage is society's least-restrictive means of ensuring the well-being of children."”

“Once you move away from the original purpose and definition of marriage, you enter a world in which the institution is infinitely plastic. Which means that if you support same-sex marriage today, you need to be comfortable with whatever marriage will be defined as tomorrow. And there will be future redefinitions.”

“With marriage now redefined, we can expect to see the marginalization of those with traditional views and the erosion of religious liberty. The law and culture will seek to eradicate such views through economic, social, and legal pressure. With marriage redefined, believing what virtually every human society once believed about marriage will increasingly be deemed a malicious prejudice to be driven to the margins of culture.”

The tactics of gay activists came out with the book’s release.  Protests without having read it, no honest discussion even though it should appeal to honest gay couples who respect their own marriage, and even that of others. In short, religious bigotry and intolerance on display for why the book was necessary.
