Whooof!!

Seems to me plain as pie that you would not stand for the basic civil right of loving partnership to be denied.

So I think the point has some bearing.

Society is not a reproductive machine in its first purpose. Life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness are closer to our formaticve goals. Why is, then, one branch of happiness to be blessed, and another which has no less good to impart, and brings no more and often less harm, to be denied? Seems awful lopsided to me.

One may dislike the fact that some members of our species are geared to same-sex relations instead of hetero relations, but that is a fact to be faced, not a wish to be unwished. It's a given. Why discriminate against it?
