This is a response to a G&M blogger who asked how one persons's marriage could cheapen another's.
No person's marriage cheapens another person's marriage.
Marriage is an institution that exists apart from any persons that may or may not participate in it. It is the institution of marriage itself that is degraded by changing it from an institution based in human biology (and open to all regardless of their sexual orientation) to a politicized, rights-based institution rooted in winner-takes-all court-du-jour interpretations of sexual orientations.
Marriage rooted in human biology recognized and protected a child's right to know the love of a father and a mother. A society that instead chooses to recognize the union of two men or two women as marriage, and gives them the same social status and rights regarding children, nullifies this right. The institution of marriage, initially designed to secure children's rights, has now been re-defined in a way that destroys the very rights it was originally designed to protect.
That is how it has been cheapened and degraded.
