Dear (recipient name),

I strongly urge you to oppose the same-sex marriage bill if and when it comes up to a vote in the Senate.

Marriage isn't about discrimination or exclusion, or just a package of government benefits (and occasional penalties).  Throughout history, marriage has been a long-term, public, sexual union between a man and a woman. Why? Because these sexual unions are unique in their ability to produce children -- even unintentionally in many cases.

Government has no business determining who I love -- but it does have an interest in making sure that as many kids as possible get to know and be loved by their own mother and father. No same-sex union can do this for a child. 
 
The threat to religious freedom -- and the utter refusal of gay marriage groups to accept any substantive protections for people of faith -- is another major concern. For years, gay marriage activists have argued under the banner of tolerance, but now want to silence any opposing views. Examples of religious groups being forced out of the public square have already begun to crop up as Catholic Charities across the country are forced to give up their adoption license, a religious group in New Jersey is denied tax exemption for refusing to recognize civil unions, and people of faith face professional sanction for their religious beliefs.

Please, there are other ways to protect the legitimate needs of same-sex couples. They have the right to live as they choose, but not to redefine marriage for all of us. Please vote no on same-sex marriage.
