Well put

Otto responds to Elton John's whining that somehow he's a 'second-class citizen' in America (an ironic statement in itself, considering he doesn't even HOLD American citizenship...):

People in the United States did not come together and decide to ban homosexuals from getting married as sometimes seems to be suggested. It is not a smart idea to just take a wrecking ball to the foundations of society without being completely sure of what you are doing. Humans have been on this planet for at the very least 6000 years and do you think it has been only in the past 40 years or so that homosexuals have thought it would be a good idea to get married? You don't think anyone has thought of it until now? And yet, somehow, there are no societies on Earth where this has happened successfully. Some things just don't work. Why only one man and one woman? Why marriage at all? Why can't a guy just go with whatever woman or man he likes that day? I say a lot of survival of the fittest has gone on with marriage in societies and what we have is what works. Period. The past 40 years has seen a shake up of the marriage foundation and it shows, it shows very badly.
