Dr. Iskander wrote this article for ADvindicate in 2013, when same-sex marriage was being hotly debated, before the Obergefell decision invented a “constitutional right” of same-sex marriage and short-circuited the national debate. Kevin Paulson removed it from ADvindicate, but it is well written and argued, and deserves to be re-published, especially given that the conservative SCOTUS may overturn Obergefell (which was based upon the same nebulous concept of “substantive due process” that underlay Planned Parenthood v. Casey) and return the debate to the democratic process, just as it has done with abortion.

For most of history, sexual attraction was not the basis of marriage. Marriage and children were a duty and an expectation arising from religion and culture. People married someone of the opposite sex, and usually had children, regardless of their own sexual orientation. Patriarchal social norms were too strong to be flouted, and the taboos and sanctions against homosexual activity too severe and too strictly enforced. (Female homosexuality is virtually unknown to history.)

Today, however, marriage is viewed not as a religious, cultural or social duty, but as an avenue of self-fulfillment and self-actualization. There is an expectation of finding and marrying someone with shared values, interests, and tastes, and to whom one is sexually attracted.

HIV is already a superbug: HIV, which causes premature aging of 14 years. HIV accelerated aging begins once infected, and antiretrovirals don’t stop it. Premature aging = premature death. To look up more info, check FR keywords hivaging and hivacceleratedaging.
