Marriage Exists Solely To Raise Biological Children Says Anti-Gay Group

Minnesota for Marriage has released yet another authoritarian statement on what God intended marriage to be, and who can marry. Because they know. In this week’s episode, “Why should the law interfere with personal decisions? No one can tell me who I have the right to love,” host Kelly Yanta says that marriage is not a private relationship but “merely about about public obligations,” and exists to “care for any children produced by that relationship.”

Here’s my favorite line:

“Marriage is a unique relationship in that it is the only form of relationship that society regulates as a way of channeling potentially procreative unions into stable, family units for the benefit of children.”

Yanta is mistaken. in fact, the definition of one type of law, public law, is, “public law is a theory of law governing the relationship between individuals (citizens, companies) and the state.” So, not just marriage, Ms. Yanta.

She then claims that couples make their vows public to ensure they are monogamous and that they will care for their children. Because every marriage vow is regulated by the state, apparently, and also includes a promise to care for children. I guess I haven’t attended enough Minnesota weddings.

Apparently,

I, ____, take you, ____, for my lawful (husband/wife), to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

is incorrect?

Last month, Yanta proclaimed, “Marriage is primarily about channeling the sexual passion of men and women with its inherent potential for creating children.”

Of course, this means that all one-man, one-woman marriages that cannot produce children must be destroyed, and if you are infertile, you cannot be allowed to marry. Or, even if you’ve adopted, your marriage apparently, Miss Yanta believes, is not valid. No word on if you have, sy, one biological child and one adopted child.

Of course, all this nonsense helps them make their illogical and false case to ban same-sex marriage, but what are facts and logic when you claim to have God on your side?

Yanta talks about Minnesota’s proposed Marriage Protection Amendment that would write discrimination directly into that state’s constitution, banning forever same-sex couples from marrying.

In a previous video, Yanta last month said, “Today, let’s look at a charge that some have made in this debate. ‘I’ve heard the amendment be called anti-gay. Is it?’ No it isn’t. The amendment is pro-marriage.”

Right…
