Good points-
I want to add- marriage is a CONTRACT between the gov and the peoipel wishing to be married, and contracts are NOT a ‘right’- they are NOT issued to everyone simply because someone htinks they have aq right to it- people can not marry their flowers, they can’t marry underage people, they can’t marrty close relatives, thay can’t marry dead people, they can’t marry ... etc etc etc
Marriage is NOT a right, it is a contract issued to people who meet a requirement-
This contract is granted for the sole purpose of incentivizing couples to procreate In order to raise future tax payers, and to allow people of opposite sex the ability to marry even if they can’t procreate because it is a natural right, AND not a natural EXCEPTION like homosexuality, necrophilia, pedophilia, bestiality, etc etc etc- all DEVIENT divergences from the NORMAL order of things, and ALL DEVIENT practices which cause harm not just to the people practicing it, but also to the victims, AND to society
Gays claim denial of gay marriage is a violation on the order of racism- however, denying people marriage based on skin color is unconstitutional because it denies it based on CHARACTERISTICS of a person- but denying gay marriage is basing it on the ACTIONS of a group of people ie: homosexual acts- and society IS allowed to step in and declare acts immoral- Gay people don’t like this- yet societies have ALWAYS decided what is moral and what isn’t based on a group of people’s ACTS- Like IO stated above, a man can not go into a court and demand that he be allowed to marry a child, and claim the court must allow it because if it doesn’t, it is violating his right to feel the way he feels- he can NOT claim discrimination when there are clear laws against IMMORAL Behavior
That is what is at stake here- does the supreme court consider gay marriage IMMORAL or not? The answer should be clear- it IS a deviant lifestyle every bit as immoral as polygamy, pedophilia, necromancy, bestiality etc- REGARDLESS of whether or not the two participants ‘consent’ or not!
Marriage is NOT a right, it is a privilege, it is a contract where those wishing to engage in it MUST meet certain criteria- if it was a ‘right’ then no one could be denied it, and there would be NO laws against ANY DEVEINT marriage
And to reinforce a child's natural right to be raised by his natural parents.
This is why marriage is a lifetime commitment.
Conservatives must realize that when they make the argument for natural marriage, they must also reject no-fault divorce.
Homosexual "marriage" deprives children of the right to be raised by at least one of their natural parents. It is a violation of human rights.
Good point about the contract issue. They claim that it is a characteristic. Of course they are wrong. At best it is an emotion. A feeling. DNA, the reproductive system and all the mechanics of it remain solidly heterosexual. Theirs is a deviation from what is natural. That is all that has ever been said about it. Of course they will give an example of someone born with abnormalities and say that is proof that they are born that way— not a solid argument, imo.
Anyway, regardless of ones opinion of the act itself (they are attracted to themselves), it is not equal to heterosexuality and deserves no legal status and benefits.
