Maggie Gallagher notes that she had "this exchange on National Review Online with Deroy Murdock (a black libertarian who supports gay marriage) about -- well, ultimately about whether people like me should be embarrassed about the time and energy we've spent on defending the idea that marriage is the union of husband and wife."

All I can say there are enough "bad guys" attacking marriage to go around to keep everyone busy. No-fault divorce, gay marriage, and as articles in Touchstone have pointed out, contraception and the desire to turn the marital union into a sexual arrangement in which sexual satisfaction is expected but the gift of a child completely optional all have undermined marriage. Any culture in which that last item has become the norm has no future. That is not an overstatement, but an easy deduction from biological nature and the sort of sociology or anthropology accessible to a thinking ten-year-old. What we are seeing in our culture today is the anti-life "live (and spend) for today" behavior of an elite--in government, media, arts--who don't give a darn about future generations of Americans. A society can't possibly have a future if it takes no thought for the future.
Christians cannot predict the future, with one grand and all-important exception: they know that they and all men will face a Final Exam. We've even been given the questions in advance.
