Opposing homosexual marriage is a waste of time, if the liberals keep getting their way, and homosexual marriage continues to be imposed by the courts.
Eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on whether there is a constitutional right to homosexual marriage. They carefully sidestepped that core question in last year’s rulings dealing with homosexual marriage.
To me, a key issue with homosexual marriage has been the issue of exactly who gets to define marriage. Is marriage to be defined by the people, by state legislatures, by churches and religious faiths, or only by the courts? Should marriage relationships be recognized at all by government, or only by religious faith traditions?
Another issue is that, every time the courts rule for homosexual marriage, they are changing the definition of marriage. There is no equal protection argument as such, because under traditional marriage law, everyone is treated equally. I understand a homosexual man doesn’t want to marry a female, but he has the right to do so. To arrive at homosexual marriage being a civil right, the courts have to invent this new right, and change the definition of marriage, not just rule on issues of equal rights.
Another legal issue the courts are simply ignoring, is the fact that this whole area of sexual identity/sexual orientation, is not a protected class under federal civil rights laws. So the courts are deciding that homosexuality SHOULD be a protected class under such laws, when they then decide that we should have homosexual marriage.
Good points.
The Supreme Court has to right to even hear a case like this. It’s a state issue.
And it’s not about equality or discrimination. The color of ones skin is much different than sexual orientation when it comes to law.
