Ottumwa recently hosted a Traditional Marriage Parade. Should Warren County cities follow their example?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Join the fight to preserve our community by becoming a monthly donor today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday, a Traditional Marriage Parade was celebrated in Ottumwa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travis Decker, one of the event\u2019s organizers said<\/a>, “Let’s represent our values to the community. Let’s encourage people that are married to stay with it and hang in there and be faithful to one another,”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KCCI reported <\/a>on the event saying brides and grooms were expected to fill the city streets of Ottumwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the people that are normally outraged were outraged. Supporters of Pride <\/a>(and other deadly sins) insisted <\/a>that they did not feel represented by the parade. But after an entire month of parades celebrating the LGBTQ+ coalition, surely they can tolerate one event in a small Iowa town that honors traditional matrimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that traditional marriage has been the foundational institution of civilization for all of time. Without a man and a woman covenanting together in marriage, society would not exist. So it should be publicly celebrated and honored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s time for communities in Warren County<\/a> to follow Ottumwa\u2019s example and host their own traditional marriage parade. This could be a positive and creative way to honor the institution that upholds all of civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
