You’re absolutely right. These rulings are completely arbitrary. There is a distinct, practical difference between marriage and what the left now calls marriage. Two people of the same sex or even multiple people of different sexes cannot create a union with offspring. It doesn’t matter how much two homosexuals or lesbians rub against each other, they cannot create life. All they do is engage in mutual masturbation (sorry, but completely true). Nor can a woman create a hybrid child from multiple fathers. ONLY one man and one woman can create the natural union that produces a life.
Now the judges say it ain’t so, but the state has a vested interest in the creation and raising of children. A child can only have one biological father and one biological mother, and it benefits all of society when that family unit is maintained. Yes. That means the state should even encourage such lifetime family bonds, as that benefits all citizens. Divorce, for example, damages more than just that one family. It harms our culture.
So, the judges are just making it up as they go. Logic doesn’t mean a thing to these folks. They have a political axe to grind, and they’ll grind it regardless of the consequences.
Note that leftist judges are essentially totalitarian. They simply cannot abide a political system where citizens have a right to set standards in their own communities. Some communities may foolishly want “gay marriage”, but others may not. “Oh no! We can’t permit that!” these judges think.
They are essentially very evil, un-American people. Americans have fought and died for our freedoms. These out-of-control, totalitarian judges think they’re some sort of heroes who are only using their power to fix wrongs and make things fair. No. What they’re actually doing is rending the civil society apart! Even worse, they actually seem to think this can go on forever without the people eventually rising up and tearing apart this system of “laws” (actually tyrants) they’ve created.
“That means the state should even encourage such lifetime family bonds, as that benefits all citizens.”
The state (power brokers, govt) does not want what is good for the state (citizens, society) but what is good for the state (power brokers). The elimination of the family unit is good for the power brokers.
Already a majority in this nation have made government their god, and before long government will be family.
