If marriage was only about religion then law wouldn’t be involved and atheists would be out of luck, and polygamy and gay marriage would have been legal all along, don’t get silly and start all that childish pretending stuff.
Like libertarians always do, you want to play games of evasion, you are fine with the military treating gay marriage the same as they do actual marriage.
That is why you can’t just answer the obvious question posed, I know the answer, you know the answer, we all know the answer, but you don’t want to say it out loud.
“”Are you saying that your libertarianism supports discriminating against homosexuality by the federal government, for instance, that the military should not recognize a marriage, if it is of homosexuals?””
I answered it already, but maybe I can put it into verbiage (aka ‘words’) you’ll easily digest: As we are a nation of Laws, applied equally upon all Citizens, where all ‘marriages’ are to be treated the same.
Now, does that mean I am in favor of the same? HELL NO. But that’s why you get when you allow the gov’t to meddle into areas it has no authority to inject itself. As I’ve stated, multiple times, gov’t has no authority in the marriage business to start, let alone to give ‘special favors’ based on the same usurped authority.
Now, go back to having your mental masturbation temper tantrum. If you don’t like it, change the Law. Or, better yet, get the gov’t out of the F* middle (this would be my ‘childish pretending’...a Constitutional Republic). There would be no benefits nor privileges to worry about giving away by those in power. Then, maybe then, we can both get onto getting gov’t out of the next area of intrusion.
