Traditional Marriage

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/422391/ryan-anderson-gay-marriage

I don't know who this author Ryan Anderson is but I enjoyed the short Q&A about his book on the future of marriage to American culture. To sum up, Marriage is an idea that has made sense between males and females across all racial, religious, and historic periods of time for many obvious reasons including raising children. He mentions some of the contradiction in societal beliefs and current laws, for instance, how can Americans say fathers matter in the lives of children and in the same breath make them optional? I am interested in how he thinks the country got to this point where marriage is redefined in the highest court. Mostly though I want to hear his prescription for those who don't agree with the Supreme Court from a moral or legal perspective on how to turn the cultural ship around. Understanding how we got here isn't as important as knowing how to get out.
