30. Semantics are important

When words are used to exclude a group from full participation in society, that is wrong, period. I suggest that every one read the classic work by Theodor Seuss Geisel "The Sneeches and Other Tales" Are we Star bellied sneeches, plain bellied, or are we the guy who uses the sneeches for his own purposes?

Seriously, what is gay marriage going to do to the "sacred institution" that adultery, (physical, psychological, and sexual abuse), and divorce have not done to demean it?
