A few years from now, lampo will be making the same arguments in favor of pedophilia and bestiality.
Once marriage is no longer restricted to one man and one woman, there can be no legal limitations on it at all that will not be found unconstitutional.
Thus, the institution will be destroyed and with it our society.
That 2% of the population has succeeded in foisting this on the other 98% is nothing short of astounding.
I think that’s the point the tyrannists keep missing. The bulk of the population are against being dictated to and, at some point if sufficiently motivated, can push back a lot harder and eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop.
The institution was destroyed in the period 1969-1973, when the following three changes were made:
1) It became terminable at will by one party with no recourse to the counterparty.
2) Its principal legal feature - sexual exclusivity - was no longer enforced by the law.
3) Bastardy was made the legal equivalent of legitimacy, as regards the obligation of fathers.
This made "traditional marriage" illegal in all 50 states, and instituted "gay marriage for heterosexuals".
That gays want in in what has become a nonbinding contract whose only legal significance is the receiving of certain government benefits is understandable.
