WHAT!?
I couldnt possibly disagree more, IMO theres no logic to defend that at all. Your marriage is absolutely NONE OF MY BUSINESS and mine is none of yours.
This would be true if our families existed in isolation, but they do not. We have neighbors, and the way we conduct our lives affects those neighbors. Our children must grow up with their children, and when they are grown, they will take their spouses from among their neighbors. We are all bound together by civilization, and what affects one of us affects all of us.
Also to the two lonely oppressors on this board that thanked you for your post, it seems its a bit of a contradiction to me. Since you would obviously disagree with the term "everyone" dont you mean everyone BUT gays
It would appear that your dog is barking up the wrong tree. I think homosexuals should be allowed and encouraged to marry. What I reject is the notion that marriage is about rights, and that we, as the State, have no business in imposing limitations on couples who wish to marry. Too many people treat marriage as trivial, and I am compelled to speak out against the further degradation of our society and its institutions by people who have adopted the poisonous and selfish doctrine that what individuals do in the privacy of their own homes has no effect on the greater society.
