But you are defining the post gay marriage unions in terms of present day contract definitions.
These go out the window once you redefine what marriage is.
The limit of two in a contract will not be absolute in marriage, and “contracts” can be entered by any number of people now, but marriage is accepted and defined as one man and one woman. Nor will it legally be possible to not allow bestiality, because it is all about love, man, and besides, who are you to judge and to impose your morality?
We had a social compact regarding marriage that worked for 5,000 years that defined mutual responsibilities and benefits. Like breathing, what further change is needed to something so basic?
A change to that basic definition will open the floodgates to all kinds of intended and unintended consequences to society. And these consequences will invade your town and society eventually, whether you agree or not, and it will change your life and how you live.
If all we need are judges to determine how we should live, talk, and interact in the social contract, let’s get rid of all the politicians—they are unnecessary.
We’ve been redefining marriage from the day society first coined the term marriage.
Up until 70 years ago, marriage has been more about economic unions than love. There were no rights for married women, they were nothing more than property for 4,900 of those 5000 years.
50 years ago, one couldn’t legally marry a person of a different race, they were making the same arguments against interracial marriage that you are making today about gay marriage.
Once again, we have to see what are the true principles of a society, it will be legally possible to enforce a ban on bestiality because informed consent has been a cornerstone of western civilization for 1000 years. And an animal just can’t give informed consent.
Same thing with polygamy, contract law states you can’t promise the same thing to two different people. Polygamy violates this. This is more physical law than anything else.
But Gay marriage doesn’t violate any of these principles of western civilization. If you want to ban gay marriage, you will have to show how adam and steve getting married in San Francisco is going to cause you to leave your spouse and take up residence with an animal.
