Why do they want to be "the same" as hetro? Marrage is a hetro term.
Their relationship is not not the same. Yes there is love. Yes there is a partnership but it is a different relationship and it is recognised throughout society.
Like I've posted in the past, what they do, what they think has nothing to do with me. It is not my place to tell a person what to do. They are equal as far as human beings go but their union is different.
Why not have a term that refers to their relationship. It's not seperating. Hetros dont identify as homos, because it's a different relationship. Majority of hetros can reproduce without the need for medical treatment or adoption (i said majority)
Hetros children dont feel separated and no special school programs introduced to protect their feelings. That in itself is a recognition that the populas as a whole knows its different.
Gay relationship will never be "normal". It's accepted but it's not what nature intended. We are animals in the end. We've made laws to take away natural selection and it's biting us in the arse.
Marrage is a hetro term.
Marriage is a legal term supported by legislation. There was never a heterosexual connection in the Marriage act prior to Howard changing it in 2004.
Marriage in not ONLY a legal term. It is that, but NOT only that.
So while the law may recognise the legality of SSM, you do not have to recognise the truth or moral or ethical or customary, cultural, religious, biological or any other validity of it.
What is at issue is that SSM activists want to use the law to silence all those supra-legal, concience-dictated objections and rejections of SSM.
Gays should respect the difference of heterosexual institutions and not always try to make gayness the standard, thereby always hatef**king non-gays, as Benjamin Law has so succinctly put it, into submission.
I never knew that when I talk about the marriage of two elements I was referring to a heterosexual institution.
The merging of two companies can be referred to as a marriage in another strange heterosexual institution.
To Marry is to join their are no institutions involved at all.
