Re: Karl Rove: 'I Could' Imagine Next GOP Presidential Nominee Supporting Gay Marriag
I already said I have no problem with gay marriage. I could care less about the social constructs of marriage or homosexuality blah blah; I was discussing it from a purely biological standpoint saying its fair game to say that heterosexuality is a biologically necessary feature, but considering marriage is a social construct, I really could care less about whether they wish to marry or not. Really. :coffeepap
Then why did you bring it up?
It's a meaningless difference, in the context of this discussion.
Allowing same-sex marriage will have no impact on marriages between a man and a woman. It does not have any effect on procreation. It does not encourage more people to become homosexual.
In addition, we do not require citizens to reproduce. Nor do we restrict marriage to couples that want to reproduce. If a 50 year old man and a 50 year old woman choose to marry, we do not stop them on the basis that a childless marriage somehow threatens the institution.
In other words, there is pretty much no reason to block same-sex marriage.
