Agreed with the first premise and not the second. It is precisely because the government has a vested interest in the creation of a stable-family society that they should not alter the definition of marriage from one oriented in that direction to something completely disconnected from family orientation of the "two people who happen to really like each other at this particular point in time" approach that precedes SSM.
WOW! talk about flawed premise. I'm sorry what does the Hollywood style of heterosexual relationships/marriages have to do with the portion of the homosexual community who want legal recognition and benefits of their already long term relationship? To make such a statement you have to ignore:
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries - 72 days
Kid Rock and Pam Anderson: 4 months
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander:
2 days
Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray: 5 months
Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman: 6 Days
Mario Lopez and Ali Landry: 2 weeks
Charlie Sheen and Donna Peele: 5 months
Chris Kattan and Sunshine Tutt: 8 weeks
Colin Farrell and Amelia Warner: 4 months
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd: 4 months
Drew Barrymore and Tom Green: 5 months
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds: 2 weeks
Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria: 11 Months
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito: 4 months
Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage: 3 months
Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney: 4 months
Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine: 4 weeks
Shannen Doherty and Ashley Hamilton: 5 months
All of these are heterosexual marriages, and while granted they make the news more because they are famous, they are also the indicators of society at large. All the above look to me as an indicator of something completely disconnected from family orientation of the
"two people who happen to really like each other at this particular point in time" approach that precedes OSM.
