Heterosexual marriage is society?s bedrock

By Alliance Alert

Bill Muehlenberg, secretary of the Family Council of Victoria, writing in The Australian: "Marriage is a universal and historical institution which serves tremendous social purposes. It regulates human sexuality, and it procures the wellbeing of any offspring from the sexual union. Thus it is not a mere private matter, but a vitally important social institution. Governments have an overwhelming interest in heterosexual marriage. They have no reason to confer special rights and privileges on other types of sexual relationships. People are free to engage in those relationships, but they cannot expect to see their relationships elevated to that of heterosexual marriage."
