There are no 'natural standards of marriage'...
So you're assuring the Reader, that Nature did not design humanity with two distinct, but complimenting genders, wherein the respective genders were specifically designed for coital union, as a function of the biological imperative to perpetuate the species, wherein the male sexual organs penetrate the female sexual organs... forming one body from two... through which conception is promoted...
You're describing
*******. ...
Well, aren't you the cutting edge of intellect?
Sadly, for your would-be argument... What I described was the
nature of human civilization, which is intrinsic to human physiology and the perpetuation of the species... wherein the highest probability for such, is through the natural and wholly sustainable human physiological construct, wherein nature designed humanity with two distinct, but complimenting genders; wherein the respective genders were specifically designed for coital union, as a function of the biological imperative to perpetuate the species, wherein the male sexual organs penetrate the female sexual organs... forming one body from two... through which conception is promoted... the consequences of which cause the female to become physically compromised, which is offset by the complimenting traits of the male to tend to her sustenance and security pre-natal and post-natal to assist the female in training the progeny as she nurtures them, until such time that the child matures, establishing them self as a productive member of society... so that they can REPEAT THE PROCESS.
OKA: THE NUCLEUS OF CIVILIZATION.
These being the Incontrovertible Facts of Nature, which you previously assured the reader, that such did not exist. And which you now return to again DENY what is OKA:
REALITY.
Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.
How does allowing gays to exist as co-equals with heterosexuals threaten the perpetuation of the human species?
Any sexual deviant can marry any other sexual deviant, as long as they apply for marriage, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE... with a person of the distinct gender.
No discrimination in the laws of marriage, whatsoever.
You feel that such DOES discriminate because to men can't marry each other.
And that's because you refuse to recognize that
MARRIAGE: IS THE JOINING OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
And that is because the marriage standard PRECLUDES MEN FROM MARRYING MEN, AND WOMEN MARRYING WOMAN, because MARRIAGE IS THE JOING OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN!
Now the law provides that two men, a goat and a 12 cats can join together incorporate... which provides them with the means to be recognized as ONE LEGALLY RECOGNIZED ENTITY.
Which is NOT MARRIAGE...
Marriage is the legitimate nucleus of civilization... but that is just because it precludes two men from joining together.
