I’m not as inclined or as talented as you guys to go into all the intricacies of this issue but I am concise.
About 2 weeks before the supreme court let the supreme get to its head, the Houston Chronicle posted an arrogant editorial proclaiming the opposition to same sex marriage will die out.
A week later they were fair enough to publish my letter in the Sunday edition which follows here:
“The writer of the opinion with the title “A shifting tide” assumes that opposition to “gay marriage” will be quashed and that everyone across the planet will acquiesce to this faddish movement. This is naïvete – with subtitle: “Opposition to gay marriage will eventually be a thing of the past.” Quite the hubris here: that the world will see the correctness of progressive western intellectuals and their hip young acolytes, and will correct their cultures correspondingly.
Consider: (1) matrimony is a universal, ceremonial framework, worked out over millenia, by planet-wide consensus, as a framework for sex, childbirth, and child rearing. And sanctioned by the spiritual traditions at the root of every culture, despite (minority) offshoots from the one man, one woman model. (2): State involvement in the matrimonial institution has always been accommodation to the institutional framework, NEVER (until the last twenty years) vice versa so as to accommodate social experimentation. And that is what history will show this to be. We have decided that our society is the right one to take this dangerous experimental road, deviating from the universal framework.
Now to head off anticipated criticism of consideration (1) e.g.: “Why should the State license marriages involving sterile partners?” But really, should the State test every person for fertility before granting a license?
I hope people will see the hubris behind the “gay marriage” movement and wake up to what it is: a modern day experiment likely to fail based on thousands of years of universal practice. |
It's crucial that the state regulate marriage because it's all about childrens!
So gay people can't get married because I guess they never have children!
But elderly or infertile people can because PFFFTTTT, like the state has time to bother with who can have childrens and who can't? I mean really!
