True...but how will you explain that to those who viscerally oppose gay marriage?
I see the gay marriage issue differently as an Objectivist. I have no Bible based objection to it. What the gay marriage advocates are demanding is a moral sanction and that is not their right to demand. I don’t think the government should ban it but they should also not force people to accept it or perform the ceremony. Ayn Rand found homosexuality disgusting but she was dead set against laws against it. If two gay men want to get married and can find someone to do it then it is not my right to stop them and their marriage is not a reflection on mine or anyone else’s. Every man or woman has a right to pursue happiness as long as they are not harming others. And if others choose not to give their moral sanction then that is their right as well. In a free society people don’t have to deal with each other if they don’t want to.
