Students Support Marriage Admendment

On Thursday, May 27th and Friday, May 28th around 30 high school students and a few of their parents gathered in front of U.S. Senators Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh's offices. They urged both Senators to support the Federal Marriage Amendment.

The Federal Marriage Amendment would amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as we have always recognized it, as the union between only one man and only one woman.

These students were met with mostly positive reactions from passers-by. Many people showed their support by honking or giving thumbs up. However, the few people that did react negatively were rude and in some cases down-right hateful. One man cursed at the students as he passed by. Another man held up a sign in opposition to the students that read "We want to restrict your liberty," as he walked in front of the students, attempting to block motorists and pedestrians from viewing the student's signs. Those who reacted in a hateful manner were few but they represent those who wish to socially engineer our society away from traditional marriage and family, and towards a society where marriage has no meaning; a society where a family consisting of a father, mother and their children is no longer considered the ideal setting to raise the next generation.

Those who demand that government recognize same-sex marriage are not trying to right the wrong of some unjust restriction of liberty. Instead, they are attempting to gain new government and societal acceptance of a practice that, deep down, we all know is wrong.
