talkpoliticsThere is a huge abyss dividing Celtic culture from that of Rome. The divide is as broad and profound as the way the symbols of the harp and bard differ from those of the fasces and dome. When we consider the case of Maggie Gallagher, Chair of the National Organization for Marriage, we see the sorry state of a daughter of Gael cut off from her native culture by the sharp axe of Rome. Her mission is to preserve the moldy language of rabid bigotry in order to protect a heritage that does not suit her land of origin.
Ms. Gallagher would have us turn our backs on the smallest portion of society simply for the sake of lingual despotism. She is probably the kind of person who turns her nose up at the idea that hypocrites pray in public as she shambles off to her local temple for a quick fix of the body and blood of Constantine.
Is marriage only something that can be practiced by a woman and a man? This woman seems to be wedded to an idea. How is that possible when the material Creator has told her that she can only marry a man? Has she failed to practice what she preaches? Senator Mark Grisanti has managed to divorce himself from that same idea. Perhaps she too will someday see the light and drag her ill conceived notion into the court of public opinion for a sound thrashing.
What other forms of marriage do we see being practiced besides that between a woman and a man?

Date: 30/6/11 11:48 (UTC)Relationships are described as... son, daughter, mother, cousin, partner, spouse, friend, uncle, boss, employee, etc.
Marriage is a contract, just as lease is a contract. Some might argue it's a purchase contract, or it's an investment or an insurance contract.
