I believe that allowing homosexual marriage would damage the family - the very foundation of society - even more than it has been.
Instead of allowing things that damage the family further, we should be working on ways to strengthen the family.
Yes. He is physically preventing you from exercizing your will with coercive measures.
"How far do we take "live and let live"?"
The perverts and their allies aren't after that. THey are attempting to force their music on everyone else and to coerce everyone else into confessing that it is OK. See #31, there's nothing libertarian about this. The marriage amend. simply acts to prevent an egregious, extensive rights violation.
If you make "gay" marriage legal, you strip religions of some fundamental rights and have a government that promotes moral relativism.
You further destroy the religious institutions, as you make the institution of marriage meaningless.
What is the real crime?--You legally can brainwash children in the schools to take "pride" in something that is dangerous to health, etc., and pits them against parents who will no longer be able to "indoctrinate" their children into their religion. Parents could be saddled with "hate" crimes by teaching their religious beliefs to thier children.
Many "gays" were abused sexually while children. A high percentage of gays are mentally disturbed. Many were induced into a lifestyle by older men. By making the lifestyle legal, government sanctions the behavior and will make it illegal to discourage the lifestyle in the public school. The European countries who endorse the lifestyle also reduce the age of consent to sex to 12 years, because the homosexuals mostly lust for young males and want legal access to them.
Gay lifestyles are not about love, they are about lust. Legal rights are not denied to gays. They want special rights which is illegal under the constitution.
