And, just like that, we have a new and different excuse for hating those who think and live differently

I’ve become convinced that we need to strike the phrase “traditional marriage” and replace it with “natural marriage.” For one thing, this change will drive the gay activists crazy, raising immediately the one argument they find most impossible to answer— that as a mechanism for preserving the species and raising a new generation, same sex unions are undeniably unnatural…. Rather than placing us in the uncomfortable, reactive position of trying to defend “tradition,” the new term “natural marriage” will force the other side to try to assert the obviously absurd proposition that it’s just as natural for a same-sex couple to raise somebody else’s baby as it is for a heterosexual couple to raise their own.
