Amos, I don't think anyone here is suggesting that gays should be excluded from having gay relationships if they wish to, but some posters feel that the present political campaign to make same-sex marriage officially legal and the same as heterosexual marriage is not necessarily what it purports to be: something that will make society freer and better in every way than it is now.

Rather, it might be seen as a sort of attention-getting ploy on the part of various special interest groups and various self-interested political parties to manipulate votes and to distract the public from tremendously more vital issues.

It might be seen as more "divide and conquer" strategy, in fact. If so, it has succeeded brilliantly. Just look at the history of this thread.

Do you follow what I mean by that?

Note: I am in no way opposed to gays getting legally married if it makes them happy. I AM opposed to this issue being given way more press and media spin lately than, frankly, I think it deserves. As I've said before, I think it's a tempest in a teapot. I think it's a political game.
