Wrong. You have nothing. There have never been solely same sex or solely opposite sex cultures. Every culture in history has had same sex couples.
Of course, no culture in history has survived that is not around today period and many of the oldest are either free and embracing same sex marriage or they are oppressive to their people in the first place.
We understand your reluctance to answer the question in a straightforward manner.
So, let me ask it this way: how many predominantly same sex marriage cultures have survived vs opposite sex cultures? Same answer that you cannot bring yourself to admit. All the surviving cultures are predominantly hetero, none [
zero ]are predominantly same sex.
That means they, gay people/same sex couples survive at all only due to the having a dominant opposite sex culture. So they obviously live within the dominant culture and thus are subject to the rules of the dominant culture. Only if they were a tyrant would same sex folks get to legitimately determine the rules of the dominant culture.
So if we are a tolerant nation, and we are, it should be understood that there have been eras and many, if not most, cultures that have not been very tolerant of what has been, and still is, a deviant/not normal conduct/behavior. Tolerance is no doubt how it should be, but that broadmindedness and forbearance should also be appreciated, be respected. With the additional provision, through means guaranteed through our Constitution, of minority rights, everyone has the right to do their best to convince a sufficient number of us in order to potentially become the wielder of the majority opinion. I agree with that, understanding that, without an amendment, all that has been adopted can also then be changed... if the people so decide.
If that method is found insufficient by your side and then finds their only real resort is to use a court system that has been, preloaded with a canned approach, rigged in such a way that there is only one way the referee [ SC ] can make the call, no matter the will of the people, well, lets just say we have a real problem there.
Now, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez and their likes would probably be on your side, the founders more on ours. That Government and its allied systems trump the people was not their mantra at all. Our founders would leave this up to us.
We have different ideas on a government or culture being oppressive. Hard to be overly oppressive if you have the majority on your side... much easier to be oppressive if those making the decision has been limited to a few people making the decisions for all the rest of us.
