Please explain to me how two people of the same-sex can join together as husband and wife. That is what must be proven in order for gay "marriage" to be a reality. The burden of proof is on you, and I await your explanation.

From Monty Python's Life Of Brian:



FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--

STAN: Or woman.


FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself--


STAN: Or herself.


FRANCIS: Or herself.


REG: Agreed.


FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.


STAN: Or sister.


FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?


REG: I think you'd finished.


FRANCIS: Oh. Right.


REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--


STAN: Or woman.


REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.


STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.


FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?


STAN: I want to be one.


REG: What?


STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.


REG: What?!


LORETTA: It's my right as a man.


JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?


LORETTA: I want to have babies.


REG: You want to have babies?!


LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.


REG: But... you can't have babies.


LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.


REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!


LORETTA: [crying]


JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.


FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.


REG: What's the point?


FRANCIS: What?


REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!


FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.


REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

Is it your position that two human beings cannot love one another so much that they wish to commit themselves to each other formally through marriage? Isn't marriage a partnership? Why does anyone have to "prove" anything to anyone in order to get married?
