   Indeed...the union of male(s) to female(s) is the fundamental   
   purpose that entitles marriage to any legal recognition.

   What is bizarre is having to even need an opposing argument to   
   the purely toxic insanity of same-sex "marriage"...the entire   
   worth of marriage to human society rests on the inclusion of   
   both sexes.

   If more than two persons want to form a union,   
   as long as both sexes are represented I see far   
   less reason to object than to anything including   
   any number of members of only one sex.

   It is any proposal that same-sex "marriage" be accepted that needs   
   to be widely condemned.

   Another reason to condemn Turnbull,along with his unforgivable   
   republicanism.
