The Marriage Idea, part 6

Gene Edward Veith writing in World Magazine, 2004:

Homosexual marriage has contributed to the dissolution of marriage as a significant institution in Scandinavian cultures primarily by contributing to the notion that marriage need have nothing to do with having children.

[...]

Today’s gay activists in Scandinavia, having gotten everything they wanted., now admit that their case for homosexual marriage—particularly that allowing gays to marry will encourage a monogamous lifestyle—was only a tactical argument. The goal, says Mr. Kurtz, citing two prominent gay thinkers, “was not marriage but social approval for homosexuality.”

They achieved that goal, but now there is little social approval for marriage.
