John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute says the divorce rate is a larger threat to marriage then efforts by gay couples to seek legal recognition. He points to a New York Times article that reports that traditional families are now the minority in the country, and that fundamental Christians have a divorce rate equal to the rest of the population.
“If you think you’re going to fix the family by passing this amendment, you’re not” said Whitehead on the October 26th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now with Coy Barefoot. He says existing law would prevent a gay couple married in Massachussets from being recognized in Virginia.
Coy also talks with Whitehead about the elections, and the possibility of the Republic crumbling to a halt because of corruption and a lack of knowledge about how the government works.
