Isn't Same-Sex Marriage Inevitable?

These are the questions and statements I address over at The Opine Editorials:

Isn't same-sex marriage inevitable?

Don't most Americans now support same-sex marriage?

Isn't this just like bans on interracial marriage?

Isn't this a civil rights issue?

Isn't this harmful discrimination against a class of people?

Isn't marriage a fundamental right?

We can't have "separate but equal."

Don't gays need same-sex marriage for hospital visits, insurance, tax, inheritance, and Social Security?

Why not just let them have it?

Why does it matter? Aren’t there more important things to deal with?

Aren't you just trying to impose your religion or morality on others?

There are no non-religious arguments against same-sex marriage, and given separation of church and state, aren't religious arguments disqualified?

Isn't this really all about hating gays?

My sister and her partner have been together for years and they love each other and have children; shouldn't they be able to marry?

You can't prove any harm has been done as a result of same-sex marriage.

How does this hurt anyone else's marriage?

Churches won't have to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies.

If marriage is about children, we do we let infertile people or people too old to have children marry?

How can anyone talk about protecting the sanctity of marriage when there is a 50% divorce rate, so much adultery, and joke weddings like Britney Spears had in Las Vegas?

States that are against same-sex marriage have a higher divorce rate.

Why not get government out of marriage entirely?

Why should I care about defending marriage?
