Adam MacLeod and Andrew Beckwith show that redefining marriage to ignore sexual difference leads to rejecting sexual difference in all aspects of life.

Sky Fall: 

Gender Ideology Comes to the Schoolhouse

by Adam J. MacLeod and Andrew Beckwith

Since redefining marriage requires us to deny sexual differences, 

even school children now have to conform to that principle 

at the risk of punishment.

In our discussions with advocates of redefining marriage, we often hear that defenders of marriage and sexual difference are overreacting to cultural and legal changes. "You run around yelling that the sky is falling," we're told. "We've had same-sex marriage for a decade now in Massachusetts, and guess what: The sky is not falling."
This is not an argument, of course, but an attempt to end any discussion of what it would mean to remove sexual distinctions from the law. As it did to James Bond's psychiatric evaluation in the recent hit movie, the mention of the phrase "sky fall" is supposed to terminate the proceedings.

No serious participants in the current marriage discussion are running around like Chicken Little. Defenders of marriage are concerned primarily about the long-term implications of redefining the institution. We might not expect the redefinition of marriage to alter cultural practices dramatically right away. After all, it took nearly two generations to realize the full effects of the divorce revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. But strange things are nevertheless happening in Massachusetts, where sexual difference was eliminated from marriage laws in 2003.
