Quote:As argued by respondents, the procreation centric definition of marriage was never meant to be discriminatory towards homosexuals. It arose in response to a basic biological reality that the intimate relations between opposite genders (regardless of sexual orientation) could and commonly would have extenuating repercussions which must be dealt with.
As argued by Alito, there been various societies which had marriage and did not frown upon homosexuality. Those same societies while having the presence and acceptance of both did not consider it discriminatory to not include homosexuals within the definition of marriage. It does not then stand to reason that this particular society, which has had a specific definition of marriage for hundreds of years, is suddenly discriminatory.
So can I ask what is the procreation centric definition of marriage?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
