The first question for me is: Are same-sex unions ‘marriages’? I’m against discrimination, I’m against hatred, I’m in favor of marriage equality, but I don’t think same-sex marriage is marriage. Therefore I think it is wrong for the government to insist, through the use of law, that we all believe that same-sex unions are marriages.

I regret the whole worlds that will never come into existence, the children, the grandchildren, all the human possibilities that never were and never will be.

Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason, and those of us who are mothers know it's the most exquisite love of all.

Same-sex marriage is not the future.

In the '60s, parents were told to let their teens rebel, explore their boundaries. Increasingly the same message is being given to the parents of tweens.

Getting married is the boldest and most idealistic thing that most of us will ever do.

Democratic forms of government are vulnerable to mass prejudice, the so-called tyranny of the majority.
