Professor Berg, I was not able to download your essay or your brief.
As the mother of a daughter who developed a same-sex attraction as the result of the perfect storm that included a date rape when she was in college by a young man she trusted, I Love my daughter, as I Love all my children. I have watched my daughter grow and develop and know my daughter suffers with an emotional problem that has caused her physical, emotional, and spiritual harm. I desire that all my children learn to develop healthy relationships and friendships that are respectful and dignified, grounded in authentic Love.
The claim has been made that there are various religions that allow for same-sex marriage and thus these various religions justify same-sex marriage based on particular doctrines of faith. It is a self evident truth that the marital act is necessary to continue Life on Earth, and thus the marital act, which is Life-affirming and Life-sustaining, is Good for the posterity and prosperity of this nation. On what religious doctrine do the various churches that allow for same-sex marriage base their teaching that same-sex sexual acts serve the Good of those persons involved in a same-sex sexual relationship, and thus these sexual relationships should be set apart or Sanctified by being recognized as valid marriages? I thank you in advance for answering my question.
