Rev. Ratcliff understands a core issue - authority for the definition of right and wrong either comes from something greater than ourselves, or, if that something does not exist or is not considered relevant, it comes from individuals. That so many think it comes from themselves is part of the "Everybody has their own truth" argument, which, although containing a huge logical fallacy, is very popular now.
In the case of gay marriage, the definition of marriage long held by most of Western culture has been that it is one man, one woman. That is now being set aside for a new definition: one man, one woman; one man, one man; one woman, one woman. Okay, old definition set aside for a new one.
So when do we set aside the new definition in favor of legalization of polygamy, of one man, two women, or vice versa? If it is discrimination to deny marriage to any couple who says that they are in love, how can it be possible to deny multiples who say they are in love?
