The institution of marriage began in the Bible, as did many of our laws. It’s original intent was and is for the purposes of procreation and the concept that children are <B>best</B> raised by one mother and one father. This is the basis for a functioning society with the inerrant interest in survival of the species.
Married couples have certain privileges granted by the state, it defines family as one man and one woman because biologically and psychologically men and women were created for each other. The state grants these privileges because survival is best achieved through family as it has been defined. Yes there are extended families, single parent families and even homosexual families, these “families” are free to enter into contracts that will be recognized by the state but the state has no compelling interest in elevating these “families” as the standard. Alternate methods of raising children, though necessary, are inferior to the ideal.
I believe you previously suggested the usual homosexual propaganda by saying that the elderly or sterile shouldn’t be allowed to marry since it’s not likely these couples would procreate. The state has no interest in doing fertility testing, that would be a bureaucratic nightmare, but since simple science tells us that homosexuals do not or will not procreate in the manner defined as sine qua non by the state there’s no need to recognize it as a legitimate alternative to the archetype.
I believe homosexuals who, constantly through torts and legislation, pursue institutions and societal standards to recognize their “sexuality” are in great pain. It’s this driving need to justify what they know deep down is wrong and it gnaws at them like a festering wound on their soul. Instead of spending so much time trying to bring society down to your level I would wish you spent that time more productively finding out why you are the way you are.
