Gay Marriage - Why Should They Be Happy?

“In the State of (state name here) marriage shall be defined as a permanent union of two people for the purpose of establishing a shared household. Marriages performed during ceremonies administered by civil authority shall have the same rights and privileges as those performed by recognized religious authority.”

That is my all-purpose proposed wording for a marriage statute free for use by any state legislature. I read as many arguments, pro and con, regarding gay marriage and really haven’t found one that I find persuasive. So I quit. I say let homosexuals marry if they so choose. After all, why should they be happy?

Seriously, I can no longer understand why any two people should not have the opportunity to try to create a life together and share their material gains. Homosexuals will have no more success at this endeavor than the rest of us. In fact, they will probably have less success. The homosexual culture is one that has promoted promiscuity forever. And that aspect of the culture will win out over monogamous relationships. If monogamy has lost out to promiscuity among heterosexuals (and it has), even with several millennia worth of teaching to the contrary, how can it be expected to overcome a culture of gay baths and other promiscuous practices the homosexual community sees as it’s own unique virtues?


You may ask, what about the children? Our society has failed it’s children on so many levels, one more failure won’t make a difference. The easing of divorce laws has done more to damage our children than homosexual marriage ever will. People who vehemently oppose homosexual marriage now should ask themselves where they were when divorce was made no more difficult than obtaining a building permit. Hell, nowadays getting a building permit is more difficult than breaking up a family. My two daughters (9 & 5) are never going to learn what is properly to be expected from a man when they are older, because they have no everyday example to show them.

The decay we as a society have infused into our society for the last forty years has rotted out the foundations beyond the point of repair, at least in my opinion. Our children are growing up in a culture that desires only it’s own short term pleasure and constant, instant gratification. If I knew then, what I know now, I would’ve left my ex-wife at the table in the restaurant where we had our first date.


Homosexuals will come to learn soon enough that the rights and privileges of marriage that they so desired, aren’t worth the paper they are written on. Personally I can’t wait to see a few homocelebrities wading through and wailing about their impending divorces. I try not to engage in schadenfreud, but I will relish this when it comes about. And after 5 years or so, homosexual marriage will be seen to have been just a fad. So I encourage the defenders of marriage to cease your objections, we conservatives have bigger fish to fry.
