Greg Koukl explains that the current debate over Proposition 8 in California is no longer about equal rights or liberties for same-sex couples—those rights have already been granted under state law. Instead, the battle is over the word "marriage" itself, which carries cultural and moral significance. Redefining marriage erases the distinction between a civilizational cornerstone—one man and one woman in a committed union—and relationships that are legally equal but not culturally foundational. Greg argues that preserving the term “marriage” is about affirming the unique role of male-female unions in sustaining society.
