Gay Marriage: Gay Marriage: The state, via a blind justice system, must be fair and just regarding laws and benefits related to gay unions, taking care to make sure they are treated as the legal equivalent of heterosexual unions. The current dilemma is easily resolved and would be accomplished in no time if this were the single legitimate issue for rational and just beings dealing with this topic. However there are left/right barriers in place that prevent any resolution for this issue. Promoting the ‘Gay Marriage’ cause is much more than a plea to the state to grant laws of equivelancy, because the movement fundamentally and coercively attempts to redefine the heterosexual worldview for heterosexuals. 'Marriage' and what it binds is the issue, not equivalent benefits and recognition. ” It is a self-evident fact that noble human beings are endowed with the natural right to think, speak, and conduct themselves freely with regard to the well being of creatures and creation.” Marriage is a term that connects many things via its application but it doesn’t ring true as a right. Primarily: 1)It accomplishes the goal of legitimizing relationships for the state. 2)It also connects the world view of hetero-sexual family centered communities and states. The world view of history related to heterosexual-values, activity, and purpose; while the vision going forward is enmeshed with the progeny of continuity of direction. Is it the only way to accomplish these things? In the case of number 1, the answer is absolutely not. In the case of number two, the world view of gay families is one generational. To redefine marriage as inclusive of other groups coerces a change that is detrimental to the world view of the hetero-sexual family oriented communities. Marriage is not simply a synonym of the legal union of a couple. Frankly, I think it is time for the state to get out of the marriage business all together. Make ‘civil union’ a requirement for any couple to be recognized by law and leave the term ‘marriage’ to what ever communities choose to define it according to their views on it, but kept outside the jurisdiction of the laws of the land. I doubt ‘gay marriage’ would even be an issue under those circumstances.
