Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
Leave STDs out of it--they are a direct function of promiscuity, and marriage is a palliative to promiscuity, not an aggravator of it.

Aside from that, then, the issue becomes a desire to pass judgement on others' private affairs. Its not the marriage itself you protest, but the sexual congress that accompanies it.

If you were to see those as independent factors--in the realization that gays, like heterosexuals, have sex whether they are married or not--wouldn't it seem that you were promoting an injustice against hum,an beings you have never met and about whose strengths and weaknesses you know absolutely nothing?


Ake:

Have you considered the possibility I mention, that you are actually promoting an injustice against people you have never met and which is actually suppressing their lives and well-being?

If so, what do you think about it?
