US Supreme Court erred in legalising gay marriage

There is no doubt that the ruling by the US Supreme Court on the legalisation of gay marriages across the country, was a most historic step in the wrong direction. Leading the majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy made one of the most powerful statements ever made about marriage and the family. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were,” wrote the learned Justice.

It is amazing how such high level minds could construct such profound and pithy reasoning and then plummet into the most absurd conclusion — whose net effect is to destroy the very institution they purport to defend. It can only be considered tragic that with words that seem to have been drawn straight from a biblical wedding liturgy, Justice Kennedy and his four colleagues have succeeded in taking their nation back 4,000 years, to the razed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and midwifed the birth of a new Sodom. Whether the new nation will meet the same fate as the original Sodom, only time will tell. But one thing is sure — these three men and two women have cracked the solid foundation upon which their nation was founded and heartlessly tipped it into a moral abyss.
