people should have the freedom to do whatever they want once they are not infringing on the rights of others
this bullshit is how trillion dollar wastes of money like the war on drugs come about because people want to dictate how other people should live and yet now after those trillions of dollars is spent any kid can still walk down the street and buy any assortment of illicit substances they want and yet no one questions this |
It's about defining what we consider family. Marriage is the defining institution of what we call a family. By allowing homosexuals to marry we basically elevate their status to that of a straight couple despite one serious flaw. Homosexuals can't conceive by nature. As such, the argument is that marriage should be reserved for natural unions only. I don't want to glorify homosexuality and marriage is one way to celebrate and glorify it. I think it is inferior to a straight relationship because they can't conceive.
Love has nothing to do with it. Freedom has nothing to do with it. If we allow unfettered freedom there will be no moral dividing lines. Anything will go. That is as close to anarchy as we will come. There will be no order. Everything that was once forbidden, for good or for bad reasons, will eventually become acceptable and legal.
I prefer to live in some kind of social order. I don't believe in chaos.
