Quote:I believe that part of the disconnect is not only cultural (ie., religious based) but also generational. There are many that believe in a "traditional" marriage, that being between a man and a woman. Those people that believe in that are not necessarily making their decision based on a religious point of view, but rather a traditional point of view.


Consider this. Only a few decades ago it was considered "morally wrong" for a girl/woman to become pregnant out of wedlock. Today it is kind of a "norm". A few short decades ago homosexuality was considered "immoral" not only by people of faith, but general society as a whole. Today it is gaining acceptance. A few decades ago, if a couple's bedroom was shown on television, there were separate twin beds in the room (look at I Love Lucy reruns). Today what is shown on television used to be called "soft core [BAD WORD REMOVED]". There was a time when curse words and people that used such language were frowned upon. Today it is almost "regular vocabulary" for some.


Society has changed, perhaps for the good or perhaps for the worse.
