"As the Reverend Rick Marks, a Southern Baptist minister, recently pointed out in a Florida newspaper, “Evangelicals are fighting gay marriage, saying it will break down traditional marriage, when divorce has already broken it down.”"
The article is about the differences between "red states and blue states" on teen pregnancy, marriage and divorce, focusing more on the "moral values voters" rather than Republicans and Democrats. But Rev. Marks' remark is something I have been saying for years and I'm glad to see that there's at least one religious leader who understands that marriage as an institution is already damaged beyond anything the allowing of gays to marry could harm.
