I think primarily because he was already in Fargo for Heitkamp. A jaunt over to Duluth would be a boost for Nolan, who is also in a close race.

Once again, you fail to explain how those " stable marriages of a man and a woman who engage in the procreative act" are endangered by allowing same sex couples the same rights.

Marriage rights are not a zero sum game.

You will lose nothing once gays are allowed to marry.

the very existence of infertile couples, and couples childless by choice invalidates your first sentence. There are even couples that never "consummate" their marriage.

But, as you say, no worries... within 10 y ears or so, same sex marriage will be legal across all 50 states, and the NoM forces will be tossed on the scrap heap of history, just like the opponents of interracial and inter-faith marriage have been.

Given that gays have existed through all time, that's not going to change. The fact is, gay children have always, and always will be born to heterosexual parents.

"...for they do not have the birthrate as the religious..."

Granted, fundamentalist religions are the fastest growing religions. But you know what's growing even faster? Secularists.

Multiple times.

I'm curious how much more the moderators are going to let Mr, Krasnoff troll the thread with the exact same question that has already been answered.

His entire column was an explanation why accepting same sex marriage does not mean we have to accept all the other circumstances you envision. Thus, he's already given you his answer.

As opposed to less fundamentalist denominations, like the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, the ELCA,

Fundamentalist mega-churches are definitely growing faster than those listed above, as well as others. But the secularists/non-affiliated category is growing even faster.

You're making a false assumption that marriage rights are a zero sum game.

The supposed benefits to children are not harmed by the existence of same sex marriage anymore than they are by the existence of infertile or childless by choice couples of the opposite gender.

Posted on 10/26/12 at 11:10 am in response to Marriage ad unfairly links amendment to school curriculum issue

“It puts parents and pastors in a difficult situation when they teach the truth of marriage at home and in church, but then their kids are taught something entirely different at school. This undermines parental rights and causes confusion for children."

One problem with this line of argument is that it applies to anything: evolution? Blood transfusions? Inter-racial or inter-faith marriages? The list is endless.

If your values are really that fragile, perhaps you should be home...

What does her political party affiliation (if any) have to do with this?

When they voted on this (and on the voter restriction amendment) theMNGOP insisted this was non-partisan.
