Social Conservative Future Safe
Conservative leaders worry that their movement’s days are numbers. Brown student Sean Quigley proves them wrong:
The argument that I would like to proffer is that governments, at all levels, in this country and others, should either maintain, encourage and facilitate proper marriage, or remove themselves from the institution altogether. A piece of paper cannot validate a marriage; it can only grant legal recognition to a marriage that exists independently of the law.Supposing that gay marriage is even conceptually possible, why do gay Americans demand a piece of paper? Is marriage truly their aim? What seems more likely is that they crave social sanction for their lifestyles, and attempt to effect it by demanding that legislators, judges and executives impose acceptance on society.
How monstrous!
Is that child relevant to the story????
What Quigley is forgetting, OF COURSE, is that marriage is first and foremost a legal contract. Religion actualy bears very little, if any weight on actual marriage. Every religions has marriage, but the church can’t give you tax breaks or the thousands of LEGAL benifits that come with the state or the feds recognizing your commitment to each other. If anything, it is religion that should be keeping its hands out of marriage…not the government.
It’s despicable that people like Quigley think acceptance is a bad thing :/
