Marriage sanctity
To the editor:
The front page of Wednesday’s Lawrence Journal-World reports that Martin Miller – a man who engaged in an adulterous relationship, murdered his wife and thereby left his children without a mother or father to raise them – is getting married.
My partner and I have been together nearly 18 years, law-abiding and taxpaying citizens all the while. Will the people of Kansas please stand up and explain to me how giving us the right to a civil marriage would “destroy the sanctity of marriage,” while Martin Miller’s impending nuptials apparently do not?
