Gay Activists Propose
Totally Abolishing Marriage

The true homosexual agenda emerges in call to destroy society's most basic institution.
 
It appears homosexual marriage isn't what gay activists really want after all. They're looking to abolish the institution altogether.
 
That recommendation comes in a report titled "Principles of Family Dissolution" from the American Law Institute - a group of legal scholars and gay activists. The goal is to eliminate the distinction between married and unmarried people in family law by creating something called "close relationships."
 
The group launched the effort, it said, because married couples have too many privileges under the law - everything from spousal Social Security benefits to tax breaks. It argues that "de-legalizing" the institution would level the playing field.
 
David Blankenhorn, president of the New York City-based Institute for American Values, said the whole notion is a "terrible idea."
 
"One of the main reasons why society protects marriage and tries to support it is because we know that this is the best arrangement for children, to have a mother and father who love them and who love each other and who are together for life," he explained.
 
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said this is just the latest example of the left's never-ending assault on marriage.
 
"No-fault divorce (was) the first step that (liberals) thought would be a fatal blow (to marriage)," Perkins said. "It didn't work. Marriage is still surviving, so now they're looking (for another way to destroy marriage.) They're going to take another step and simply try to do away with marriage altogether legally."
 
Blankenhorn said he thinks the scheme is destined to fail.
 
"I do believe that very few people, citizens in the United States, would want this change or would even imagine that such a change would
be a good idea."
