I Now Pronounce You Man And Wife.

 When I think about social issues in America I can only form opinions based on my life's experience's, my up-bringing and what I read. I have been retired since 2000, I served in Law enforcement for 35 years. As for religion I consider myself as non-committal.
As you can see I am not qualified to judge others regarding social issues, however I trust my common sense. With reference to same sex marriage I'm concerned about the propagation of our species. If there is a God or other higher order of things one might ask, why were women created or evolved? Early Christians wrote
that God created the first woman (Eve) to be a companion to Adam. Over time this companionship between man and woman seems to have evolved into marriage. Early people of faith also wrote about God's destruction of earth by a great flood and his directing Noah to build an Ark and stock it with two each of all the animals of earth one male and one female so that earth could be repopulated.
 Whether one is  a person of faith or agnostic the fact is that human existence is accomplished by a process of reproduction between a man and a woman.
What concerns me is the possibility that over time however long that may take perhaps many generations, we may cease to exist due to self imposed extinction.
