“Such hoteliers are guilty of bad business as well as bad manners: they are harming their profits for no good reason”
I don’t know, it’s probably hard to get regular or repeat business from straight couples, families, and/or anybody treated to extreme homosexual behavior at a B&B.
Right. That’s why I can’t go with Libertarians. They profess to leave social issues such as gay marriage to the private sector without accounting for the vast body of civil law that assumes marriage to be an essentially procreative institution. By failing to recognize that long-standing, rational, biologically based assumption, many irrational and harmful consequences follow, such as the state-coerced assaults on conscience cited in the main article of this thread, under a pretext of “equal protection.”
But the worst losers of this departure from hormonal reality are the children. The Netherlands provides an example of what happens when the state leaves the definition of marriage to the whims of arbitrary societal factions rather than rooting it in the biology and psychology of creating new children. In the Netherlands, marriage is becoming an artifact of the past. New children are more and more the product of random relationships and increasingly dropped on the doorstep of the state, to be raised as good little statists themselves, winding the cycle of state dependency ever deeper into the collective psyche of the culture.
If I were to vote as Libertarians do on this issue, I would think myself a worker of cruelty to future generations of children, lost boys and girls, with no clear path back to the blessings of natural family life and their own, biologically grounded sexual identity.
With Hillary I learned the term “feigned anger” and now I’ve learned “Syntetic outrage”
I guess I’m a homophobe because I’m utterly disgusted by gays.Fine by me!
