We owe our existence on earth to the traditional family union we
call "marriage." This formal relationship involves a commitment
between a husband and a wife, a man and a woman. Each of us is
alive because of countless traditional marriages over countless
centuries. This special God-given relationship deserves a name
unique. That word is "marriage." To those who want to promote
homosexual unions, please tolerate this traditional use of the
word that has always meant this relationship. Robbing those of
the majority of the unique meaning of that word will never make
us respect a live style different from our own.
