A Travesty in California

Tuesday, June 17 is the day the state of California takes a drastic step backward as it makes same-sex unions legal in the state. This is the result of a tragically immoral decision by the state's supreme court sanctioning such unions.

There are many residents of the state of California, I am sure, who find this decision by their state's supreme court to be reprehensible. Their position in this matter was completely ignored by the members of the court.

Same-sex couples are already lined up to secure "licenses" and to have ceremonies performed. But the fact is that even the supreme court of California cannot change one simple truth.

Marriage, by definition, involves a man and a woman. It is that simple. To define it any other way is to destroy its significance and importance in society.

God created marriage. He presented Eve to Adam in the Garden of Eden, and that forever established marriage as the union of a man and a woman. It matters not what politicians, lawyers, activists judges, ministers, or any others decide.

California has taken a step down a slippery slope by attempting to change the legal and moral definition of marriage in order to appease a vocal but immoral minority.
