Personally I think that you are putting way too much emphasis on the issue of benefits because I do not believe that is the real agenda of the left wing in promoting same sex marraige. The real agenda of the leftwing in my opinion is to establish freedom of sexuality as a Constitutional right through the Court system and then to eventually move forward with destruction of the family unit and parental rights by using the sexuality of minors as a new way to have the state move in between parents and their children.

You make an excellent point here, and this is pretty much why I'm not convinced myself that this is a good idea. Sometimes I like to approach these types of questions as if we could just magically make it happen the way I imagine, with all the unspoken assumptions I bring to the table, and without the types of risks you bring up. In other words, I tend to approach questions theoretically, rather than practically.

You speak of how such a plan would destroy the family. My initial thought is that it's hard to do much more harm to the family than has already been done. But that might be a little too glib. I can imagine, for example, with the current president and congress, a situation like the one in Brave New World, where the government is directly responsible for raising kids. As bad as things are getting, we're not quite there yet. So perhaps I am a little too enamored of the potential benefits and am not giving the negatives enough consideration.

Thanks. I appreciate your comment.

I agree with your sentiment that having less government involvement in the area of marraige could be better if all things were to go along the lines of supporting individual liberty. Unfortunetally I do not believe that we have that luxory though at all.

The leftwing statists in this country have been for the Marxist agenda of the abolition of family since the sixties took hold.

The leftwing claims to be against a theocracy but in it’s place they strongly support enforcing an immoral code and agenda of sexual rights that is directed at our children and mankind’s future.

When we as adults give up the right to have representation on an issue (like what is right or wrong in regards to sexuality in society) then we are also giving it up for our children.

The leftwing already is known for supporting underage sexual activity which is why the leftwing are against parental notification in regards to sexual issues with minors, for ridiculous sexual education policies in government run schools, etc....

If we lose this battle of representation in society then it will extend to our children.
