The folks on WPRI’s Newsmakers invited me on to take the conservative, traditionalist side in the debate over same-sex marriage, the weekend between the RI Senate’s vote to change the definition of “marriage” and the RI House’s anticipated vote to send the redefinition along to Governor Lincoln Chafee for anticipated approval.

In summary, I think that Senators who invited gay friends out to dinner and sifted through old magazines to help them make up their minds on the issue would have done better to take walks through urban neighborhoods in Rhode Island and ask the children, there, about their relationships with their parents.  Those are the people whom the redefinition of marriage will harm most and soonest.
