From article:
Stephanie Coontz, a professor at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., and author of a new history of marriage, said passing anti-gay amendments in hopes of returning marriage to some bygone traditional status is futile.
"Heterosexuals changed marriage, not gays and lesbians," she said. "None of these measures is going to change the fact that marriage no longer plays the same central economic and political role that it used to. ... People see it as more optional."I agree that this is not about preserving the sanctity of marriage and it is all about diminishing the civil rights of homosexual couples. What I liked about this article was that it touched on the fact that marriage in general was on the rocks long before homosexuals wanted to have the legal protections of marriage.
