There are a lot of things that are a lot more disgusting and are done by straight people. Even by those who are married. However the institution of marriage is bound by traditions. Whether you like it or not. It is bound by traditions.
Tradition is ephemeral. We give up traditions all the time. We alter them to suit evolved sensibilities all the time. We establish new ones all the time. Marriage is no exception. The world hasn't ended yet.
Quote:You people are liberals, anti-culture, anti-tradition. The only reason you support marriage is to destroy the said traditions. Because after you do, marriage won't be relevant anymore, as the values associated with marriage won't be relevant anymore.
I am definitely a liberal. I'm not anti-culture in the slightest, I simply view culture in an honest way: it is fluid. It evolves. I am not so petty as to target anything specifically because it is a tradition, but I hold no traditions to be sacred. If they are useless, they should be discarded. If they are repressive, they should be eliminated. If they can be expanded to include others when there is absolutely no good reason to exclude others, they should be expanded. Gay marriage is not going anywhere. It is going to catch on worldwide sooner or later. Future generations are going to look back and wonder what all the fuss was about, the same way people today wonder what all the fuss was about over those who claimed that interracial marriage would destroy the institution and ruin everything forever. Those people are quaint throwbacks to a more ignorant and hateful period of human history. So are you.
Quote:Just like Marx hated marriage, just like he viewed it with scorn, just as leftists once have created communes where marriage was non-existent, and children were treated as "common property" and were taken care of in turns, where the concepts of "mother" and "father" were abolished, you want this to apply to today's society, because only in such a society will your fluffy liberal dream come true. But "gay marriage" will never be marriage. It will only be a distorted, bastardized, and twisted form of marriage that only has the legal benefits of marriage, devoid of its characteristics.
All your opinion, nothing more. And who cares what you think? I don't recall anybody asking you to marry another man.
Quote:And the fact that you use things like "love" and "equality" to mask your intentions is really funny.
You wouldn't know what love or equality was if they punched you in the vagina.
