It’s unbelievanle how shallow and self-centered some people are......when they claim that same-sex marriage (which is about same-ness, not diversity) won’t affect their marriage.....
In fact, it will effect the institution of marriage mand confuse and confound children...
If marriage is everything, then it is nothing
and if it’s everything, they why have marriage at all—and just let people do what they want?
Marriage is about law and order and has both a pubolic and private purpose....
Ann Coulter has never been married, whereas Rush Limbaugh has been married and divorced at least 3 or 4 times.....
Glen Beck likes to talk about his alcholism and quote the Bible like an unhinged idiot (we’re talking context here, not trashing the Bible).....and considers himself to be “libertarian”.
But this is a shallow libertarianism........because how exactly is the government staying OUT of peoples; business or private sex lives by giving marriage license to homosexual couples....
Marriage was meant to regulate homosexuality....like we regulate cigarettes and alcohol (admittedly not a perfect analogy).....because it potentially is a destructive force and was to be channelled into a more constructive and procreative one...whereas,
like meth, cocaine , or heroin.....homosexual couplings and sex were seen as destructive of public and private ends (no pun intended)-—and thus were banned or a best tolerated....
I guess Rush and Ann and Beck havr bought into the “gender studies” idea that we have at least 4 genders (male, female, gay and lesbian) instead of just two sexes....
Because if you don’t buy the “gender” garbage and believe in only two sexes and different kinds of sexual behavior.....then you don’t buy into the “discrimination” argument.
Everybody can get married under just one definition of marriage...so-called gays and lesbians aren’t being discriminated against, it’s just that they don’t WANT to get married under the current defintion of marriage and the social purpose it was meant to serve....
So they are free to remain single, just as much as somebody who doesn’t marry because they don’t want to be tied down and want to be a bachelor or bachlorette forever.....
coorect that.....”marriage was meant to regulate HETEROSEXUALIY as a potential destructive force”....whereas homosexuality was to be banned as ONLY a destructive force....if people want us to change the law and persuade us otherwise, then fine...but judicial coercion is wrong....
and why not just have NO marriage....It seems to me that courts could say “either everytbody gets married or nobody does”, thus they strike down marriage laws and nobody can.....at least that leaves it to the people instead of having judges abuse their power and just change the definition of marriage....
