All this time people clamored for gay marriage. Rights were being violated. People lined up to get the marriage licenses. But now the real truth comes out.
Few Homosexuals Interested in Tying the Knot
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, JUNE 24, 2006 (Zenit.org).- After the clamor to legalize same-sex marriage, it turns out that not many homosexuals really want it. Following a bitter battle last year, the Spanish government gave homosexuals the right to marry. Since the law took effect last July 3, until May 31, only 1,275 same-sex marriages took place, reported the Madrid daily newspaper ABC last Saturday.Comparatively, that would add up to a mere 0.6% of the 209,125 marriages contracted in Spain during 2005. Of the total number of same-sex marriages, 923 were between males and 352 among females.
A recent study by the Virginia-based Institute for Marriage and Public Policy did a roundup of same-sex marriage trends. The study, “Demand for Same-Sex Marriage: Evidence from the United States, Canada and Europe,” was published April 26.
So far the highest estimate of the proportion of homosexuals who have used the new laws to marry is in the American state of Massachusetts, with 16.7% tying the knot. But this seems to be an exception. In the Netherlands, where same-sex marriage has been established the longest, the percentage was far lower.
It has never really been the issue. The only goal was the undermining of the people’s will to hold to conservative values and create an environment where marriage’s value in the culture was greatly diminished. Now that doors are opening up all over the world for marriage we now find that those organized protests were not for the right but for a dramatic cultural shift. Something they have apparently been able to create very effectively everywhere. They will have to be less visible on the issue as the very organization that performed the most marriages (the churches) are now pushing for gay marriage. They are promoting the stray man while the gay community is able to chuckle in their victory.

[...] There is more to this. Why the big fight over an issue that such a small minority really are passionate about. In reality, other nations with same-sex marriage available it is rarely used. They don’t want same sex marriage but rather undermine the definition as given by our Creator. It is intentional and they know it. [...]
