Re-posted from another thread: (obligatory ionesco disclaimer)

Gay politics is a reactive movement. In some cases it is simply the hidden agenda of the left looking for a tear in the fabric of society. In some instances it is also a case of unmet emotional need. The need to feel included or as belonging is one of the most powerful motives in social beings. However, attempting to change definitions of what ‘is’, is a misguided approach to dealing with the truth of what is. Gay marriage is not a ‘societal issue’, it is an attempt to legislate away the distinction between hetero identity and homo identity. Hetero identity is core family values based. The core family value has an historic reference that further defines our identity and culture in the present. The hetero cultural identity defines the future goals and aspirations of the family of the hetero individual and significant others in that person’s life. It also connects social and cultural values of the present to institutions that engender the society of the future. Homosexual identity and culture must be redefined for each era in which the individual identifies. Unlike the heterosexual cultural identity, there is no common progenic reference for what the homosexual individual is likely to accomplish in life or as a reflection of his/her identity roots, at least beyond an individual who may have sexualized him/her in youth.

The reactive attempt to define marriage as something other than a heterosexual commitment to life’s endeavor is an attempt to dissemble the culture of heterosexual family values. There are no benefits to heterosexual marriage that can not be enjoyed by homosexuals via a civil union and or contracting. Tax laws and employment benefit laws can be revised to mirror the benefits of marriage as can any other benefits except for the culture that is inherent in heterosexual committed unions and the culture that springs from that.
