One man + one woman
Throughout history and in virtually all human societies marriage has always been the union of a man and a woman. Although death and divorce may prevent it, it is the ideal environment for raising children. It is possible to respect the rights of others while also supporting traditional marriage.
Polygamy may be next
After the redefinition of marriage to allow same-sex marriage, it could be redefined to allow polygamy next. As the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court warned in June 2015: "a leap from opposite-sex marriage to same-sex marriage is much greater than one from a two-person union to plural unions". Once you start unpicking the definition of marriage, it can unravel further.
Free to disagree
People shouldn’t feel compelled to agree with redefining marriage just because of political correctness. And people shouldn’t be penalised just because they support traditional marriage. People's careers shouldn’t be damaged, foster parents shouldn’t be turned away, and religious adoption agencies shouldn’t be closed down just for upholding traditional marriage.
