When we abandon morality, government fills the void left behind.
I still believe we could operate as a society without the government involved in marriage but you and discostu did get me thinking about end games.
Why do we wish to stop homosexuals from “marrying?” In my mind it is becuase I do not want them to use the legitimate institution of marriage to legitimize the rest of the homosexual agenda. The homosexuals want to normalize their unhealthy behavior. They want to normalize pedophilia. They want to persecute those who do not approve of their sexual deviancy. They want to adopt children, and they want to propagandize in schools for recruitment. Taking marriage away from the government might stop them from being legally defined as married but it would not stop them from using government to advance the rest of their nefarious plans.
As I said before I believe less government is almost always better but I am starting to see that even if taking marriage away from the government is feasible, it will not prevent the government advancing homosexual agenda. On the flip side legally telling the homosexuals NO might stymie some of their other efforts.
