Is government discriminating against homosexual couples when it denies them marriage, just as it discriminated against African Americans with segregation? The arguments assume that government creates and defines marriage. That assumption is reinforced with every public referendum, legislative act or court order concerning it, but for thousands of years, no one defined marriage, yet everyone knew what it was. Did society define marriage, perhaps based on the writings of bigoted men, to erroneously excluded homosexual couples? Does marriage exist absent society, with the concept of homosexual marriage being a collective delusion? Who or what defines marriage, and does that definition include homosexual couples? To answer this assertion, we must inspect the natural state, absent society, religion and government.
To survive as an individual, one must have sustenance and shelter. The survival of a species requires reproduction. The activities of gathering food, building and maintaining shelters and reproducing the species all consume energy. Particularly for humans, the task of reproduction is energetically intensive. For the last few months of pregnancy, a woman's productivity is significantly impaired, and this impairment continues for many years after birth, due to the demands of raising the child. Reproduction impairs productivity and increases consumption. It is safe to say that in the wild, a human woman living alone would be unable to bear or raise a child. The species known as "human" would not exist.
The struggles of life can be eased through the division of labor.
The woman, with her reduced mobility, can perform the tasks of maintaining the shelter, reproducing the species and perhaps farming some food. The man, freed to venture longer distances, can find greater qualities or quantities of food and other resources.

To quote my office assistant, the puzzle parts don’t fit together. Inspired by that, I asked my wife if she wanted us to get our puzzle parts together. She said no.
From the lead article:
but for thousands of years, no one defined marriage
Say what? Who is this “American Thinker” who wrote this? An atheist? A liberaltarian? At any rate, it must be someone who doesn’t know much about God and the Bible. GOD DEFINES MARRIAGE, and its been known for “thousands of years.” The Bible has been around for thousands of years.
What you say is true, but the Bible wasn’t written with the hand of Adam, so marriage was not defined (as we define “definition”, lol) for millenia before the Bible was written.
God had defined it in our natural law, but it was not part of man’s law until lawyers were invented, which is what the article’s author is talking about.
Excellent point.
The 1st amendment guaranting our God given rights of freedom of religion without government interference, is backed by the 2nd amendment to secure those blessings.
Oxymoronic situations do not exist by the very nature of the terms.
Does it exist?
No.
Next question...
No.
It’s an invented farce generated to be a test of how PC ‘modern’ you are.
That is, the extent to which you accept Leftist brainwashing.
“Does Homosexual Marriage Truly Exist?”
No. It is a lie that is being ensconced in our legal system through various judicial frauds.
