Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Can't make a distinction between biology and doctrine? You guys need to get out more if you really think of your somewhat blinkered narrow field of view as "common sense".

We're not talking about the biology of honmosexuality, but of civil rights and what they should comprise. Marriage is not a biological state. To the degree it is sometimes a natural state, it needs no regulation. To the degree it is regulated, it is an artifact of civic agreement, part of a code of rights, priveleges and protocols.

Denying those rights to some members based on apredilection for heterosecuality makes no logical sense, but reflects only the bias of those who have no understanding of the other half. As a reward for your narrow-mindedness, I wish for you that your children, like Cheney's daughter, come to you to announce they are gay.
