Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.

So no, it isn't just about being afraid to disagree with Church Teaching. It is about homosexuals being *silenced* by the politically correct folks.
When I was getting married, I couldn't care less that other people had screwed marriage up. I don't see the logic in opposing gay marriage because marriage has been screwed up by heterosexuals. Who cares? It is only screwed up for those who screw it up not for the ones happily married.
As one crabber on Deadliest Catch put it last night "I saw my father go through four divorces, with four different women, and has four children one with each woman. I don't want that for myself".
Huge numbers of my generation have been damaged greatly by divorce to the point of never wanting to be married at all.
There is no conceivable reason, outside of creating stable families for the purpose of procreation, that the state belongs in anybody's bedroom at all.
Sacramental marriage is already about procreation, or should be. Miracles do happen, I suppose, but I don't see why a couple that loves each other can't just live together regardless of what the Church says.
Well, I agree that they could. But why should they have to? Why can't people who love each other just get married, church or no church, hetero or homo?
I can't blame them.
