You whining about why something was revisited isnt pertinent. 1st. there's no actual fucking grievance I can think of that re-evaluating Marriage has caused the Country, apart from bigotry.Marriage is not merely about fatherhood, Correll, let-alone does how *you define marriage.. and what it was about... make it a necessity that said definition is permanent. You've conceded this like 10 or so posts ago, when you said that society is free to revisit institutions.Yes, it is exclusion because Gays don't prevent anyone from sticking around as a father and can also be said fathers - and to that effect, it would be exclusion to deny them the right to Marry their gay partner on that basis.But is it really "exclusion"?
The primary point of Marriage is to get the biological father to stick around and provide for his biological children and their biological mother.
Gays have always been a part of that. (Do you need this point supported? Or are you aware?)
Your request wasn't just to let them do that, but to change the institution so that it would fit their sexuality better.
Not only that, but you're merely asserting that that's the "primary point" of Marriage, anyhow. That's just an opinion, and as you've conceded and are thus refuted - we are free to change these institutions anyhow and you're not providing compelling arguments NOT TO.
If Marriage is structured that a Man marries a Woman, then yes that does not serve the purposes of gay couples.
But is that the fault of the institution of Marriage? Or just a function of it's purpose?
If I wanted to join a Football fan club, and when I went there, I was wearing my t-shirt that said, Football is stupid,
would it really be "Discrimination" for the club to not let me join?
Is it their fault, or do I just not fit their model?
....
But it was revisited on the false premise of your conclusion.
That is a not a honest and serious discussion of the issue.
That was a cheat, and you people being bullies and tyrants.
Thats the first...HUGE fucking clue that you're a bigot with an age-addled mind. Like I said, the train's not looking at you, it's looking past you ya fuggin goof.
Not why, how.
And why don't you explain why it does not matter that you libs are setting national policy based on cheat and bullying, without giving other people a real chance for input?
Cause, I'd really like to hear your explanation on that one.
