'''Same-sex "marriage"''' is a proposed to [[deregulate]] marriage laws granting [[same-sex union]]s the same legal status as heterosexual marriage. This is contrary to thousands of years of success based on a one-man/one-woman marriage system and in direct violation of the [[Bible]] and most other religious teachings.<ref>"Same-sex marriage uses force of secular law to justify what the scripture of ''most modern religions'' has clearly labelled a sin: i.e., [[homosexual]] relations.  At least one nation that has adopted same-sex marriage now requires the largest Christian church there to perform them also, despite its clear contradiction with the [[Bible]].</ref>

In [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]], the adoption of same-sex marriage has led to a loss in respect for the marriage institution itself even for traditional couples{{citation needed}}.  In [[Massachusetts]], the imposition of same-sex marriage led to a decline in property values and an exodus from the state by many{{citation needed}}. Also in response to the introduction of same-sex marriage the State Department of Public Health changed marriage certificates to read "Party A" and "Party B" instead of husband and wife.
