First New Zealand lesbian ‘marriage’ over already?

New Zealand ’s first same-sex “marriage” is shaping up to become the country’s first same-sex divorce. Less than a year since they became the poster girls for the country’s new legal definition of marriage (last August) the  NZ Herald reports  that Melissa Ray , a former Ferns football player, and Natasha Vitali, a sales rep, are “believed to have split”. The main source of the story appears to be Ms Vitali’s Facebook page on which the following poem appeared yesterday: Drink it down, laugh it off, Avoid the drama, take chances, And never have regrets,  Because at one point everything you did,  Was exactly what you wanted. When the  Herald  contacted her Ms Vitali said: "It's not anyone's business, we'll just leave it at that, but thank you for calling.” And, “I'm not talking to you about my private life, we got enough coverage when we got married." It is well known that female partnerships break up more often than male – twice as much, acco...

Homosexual marriages lies

Crowd in support of immoral Homosexual Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In Great Britain   Patricia Morgan points  to the data that explodes the argument Cameron's Tories are making that gay marriage is somehow a conservative idea that will strengthen marriage as a social institution . It hasn't happened in Scandinavia , Spain , Massachussetts , or anywhere else that has adopted gay marriage. In Holland she points out the number of first babies born to unwed couples has doubled to 40 percent since gay marriage was adopted. It is as absurd as the oft-repeated argument that gay marriage will somehow improve a state's economy or that a marriage amendment will hurt jobs. Here's the thing they don't believe that you and I do: truth matters. If we speak with love, conviction and courage, on behalf of the timeless truths that government has no right to redefine—in the end we will win.

Death of marriage in Scandinavia due to co-habitation led to gay marriage

Image via Wikipedia IN THE Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court 's dueling opinions on same-sex marriage , each side places the burden of proof on the other.  The majority in the Goodridge decision insists there is "no rational reason" for defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.  The minority chides the majority for its "blind faith" that there are no potential dangers to so radical a change. Both sides lack evidence on the real-world effects of same-sex marriage. Yet evidence is in. Marriage is dying in Scandinavia , which has had marriage-like same-sex registered partnerships for over a decade. Data from European demographers and statistical bureaus show that a majority of children in Sweden and Norway are now born out of wedlock, as are 60 percent of first-born children in Denmark. In socially liberal districts of Norway, where the idea of same-sex registered partnerships is widely accepted, marriage itself has almost entirely disappeared...
