The issue people need to address is not gay marriage but "marriage" itself, and what it means today. Most of us become more liberal as the years pass because we see failure as nothing more than a learning lesson, generally painful, sometimes tragic. It's often no one's fault, just the way life programs us for experience. We spent way too much time analyzing why we do what we do, beating ourselves up for failed relationships, or just blaming everything that went wrong on the other person. I rarely read a client going through a separation, where that person doesn't blame everything wrong on their crazy ex-partner. Maybe that's true or maybe feeling controlled by another brings out the worst in people until they crash. As a psychic, what I see is two people who no longer belong together, maybe never did, have completed their karma (usually the children), and need to move on. This is true with gay and straight couples, but you already know that. If the couple doesn't separate, they will bring out the worst in each other and issues will become legal ... and more legal. Speaking of legal ...
The Supreme Court will hear arguments this week in two same-sex marriage cases. Whatever the justices do, the outcome seems foreordained. When 80% of Americans under 30 agree about something, that something will happen -- it's only a matter of time. But while straight young Americans support marriage for gays, increasingly they opt against marriage for themselves. Nearly half of American children, 48%, are now born to unmarried women. Among women without college degrees, and of all races, unwed motherhood has become the norm.
