How does gay marriage affect you?
from American Thinker

*** begin quote ***

If past is indeed prologue, the organized, concentrated and continuous assault by a small percentage of zealots will ultimately wear down the resistance of the larger, less focused, non-committed majority.

*** end quote ***

The Constitution’s Tenth Amendment reserves that to Several States. Thus the Federal Government should have NO role in the definition of marriage.

The States really should not have any role in defining marriage either since it’s a “church” thing.

The heritage of marriage licensing is racial discrimination.

So, “marriage” should be left to the civil society; the gooferment should MYOB and butt out.

imho!

INTERESTING: Serious about ending discrimination

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Andrew Wilcow’s program reboardcast on XM168 over the weekend:

“The purpose of opposable thumbs is to pick up things. The purpose of heterosexual marriage is procreation. What is the purpose of homosexual marriage?If everyone was serious about ending discrimination, we remove marriage from the sphere of the government.”

Very interesting!

And, an excellent argument.

RANT: Camile Paglia “government should get out of the marriage business”

What do the Clintons have on Obama?
What experience does Hillary have to run State? Plus: Avoiding the Muslim issue on Mumbai, and anti-Proposition 8 activists threaten to set back gay rights.
By Camille Paglia

*** begin quote ***

I may be an atheist, but I respect religion and certainly find it far more philosophically expansive and culturally sustaining than the me-me-me sense of foot-stamping entitlement projected by too many gay activists in the unlamented past. My position has always been (as in “No Law in the Arena” in my 1994 book, “Vamps & Tramps”) that government should get out of the marriage business. Marriage is a religious concept that should be defined and administered only by churches. The government, a secular entity, must institute and guarantee civil unions, open to both straight and gay couples and conferring full legal rights and benefits. Liberal heterosexuals who profess support for gay rights should be urged to publicly shun marriage and join gays in the civil union movement.

*** end quote ***

The gooferment has NO business at all in the marriage or civil unions business.

Prevent invasions, preserve the peace, ensure rights!

Period!

LIBERTY: Marriage? Gooferment MYOB!

Taking Marriage Private
By STEPHANIE COONTZ
Published: November 26, 2007

*** begin quote ***

WHY do people — gay or straight — need the state’s permission to marry? For most of Western history, they didn’t, because marriage was a private contract between two families. The parents’ agreement to the match, not the approval of church or state, was what confirmed its validity.

*** end quote ***

Why indeed do WE, the free sovereign individuals, need the Gooferment’s permission, pay them, and give them allegiance to their interference?
