And also there is no way a close-relationship marriage could not win in a court challenge.
Ultimately, when a son seeks to marry his dad to inherit his estate with no estate taxes, and argues "fairness" and "consenting adults" should trump ancient, bigoted morality about incest and procreation, the court will face a serious decision: Can community standards and morality frame marriage, or not? Legal precedence around same-sex marriage have answered that as a resounding "No!". Deciding against polygamous or incestuous marriage would roll that decision criteria back, which would imperil same-sex marriage. Agreeing to the precedence opens marriage up to any two or more consenting adults, and fundamentally changes inheritance and estate laws.
Bingo.
All this upheaval over a benefits hustle.
Tax-avoidance vs homo-sexual promotion?
Hmmmmn.
What’s a liberal to do? What is the liberal’s “true” intelligence: To their “State” and force the money to go from homosexuals to pay more taxes? Or to the homosexual promoters whose money and votes and propaganda enable that state’s tyranny? Does the liberal’s absolute hatred of conservations, religion, and morality trump BOTH the state and the homosexuals?
Funny how logic and real life get left behind as soon as you have no perspective, no absolutes to judge life’s foundatins.
(There is an old Calvin & Hobbes cartoon about “losing perspective” that is applicable! )
But mainly I wish people would just SHUT UP about their personal warped lifestyles!
A very accurate and concise summation of the situation. Most gays, I think, are just deluded - swamped with their own narssissic desires. There are, however, some very sinister elements in the background who are using them so that they can put forward very profound and fundamental changes to the very structure of society. These people (mostly social studies academics inevitably) think traditional marriage is obsolete and a “social hindrance” and probably responsible for all the ills of modern life. The fact that traditional marriage is pretty much universal in form around the world, and has been for millenia is, to them, irrelevent. We have “progressed” beyond all that now. Their arrogance and hubris is astonishing.
