The Politicization Of Love

Love has nothing to do with rights, and is independent of contracts. The use of love as a basis for State action is as arbitrary as the use of race, religion, compassion, gender, or any other majoritarian idea one might name. Such a vision of the proper function of the State is incompatible with the concept of impersonal justice. To the extent that it's allowed to penetrate political thought, it will displace objective thought about rights, justice, and the role of the State.

Very aptly put.
