Those same criminals are wholly involved in ramming homosexuality down my throat and yours. It’s much more than a genital or marriage issue. You’ve been here long enough to realize that.
I generally agree, but if the state wasn’t involved with marriage, most all of the financial implications would be removed from it.
If anything, marriage can harm people regarding taxes, depending on their particular circumstances. I know for sure in our case, we are actually disadvantaged financially by being married. We would do FAR better with our taxes and related matters if my wife and I were just ‘shacking up’, but that isn’t what WE want, and definitely not what we want for our children. It’s unfortunate that being married is a financial sacrifice. If the state weren’t involved, this wouldn’t be the case.
Given how people generally are these days(look at the rates of divorce), and the financial penalties involved, gay people shouldn’t WANT to be married. To me, this reveals their real motivation, which is hoping to invade and ‘stick it to’ traditionally married people, particularly religious people. Notice how they aren’t even happy with state recognized ‘Civil Unions’. They insist on it being “marriage”, because they believe it will be the most culturally intrusive/offensive to others. Gay marriage is nothing more to them than another ‘notch’ on their belt or objective for their battle on road to “progress”.
When they eventually DO get their way on ‘Gay marriage’(face it - Leftists NEVER quit until they get their way), I’d bet their divorce rates will be staggering. Probably double that of ‘straight people’, but that won’t really matter to them. The end result is what they view is another traditional institution torn down and destroyed, and that’s what they’re all about for the most part.
