So I see how it is. A woman on public radio the other day (albeit, very intelligent sounding) kept insisting gay marriage was wrong because the term "marriage" is defined by being between a man and a woman.
"That's how it's always been," she said.
I don't like when people use that false logic. Someone pointed out to her that marriage used to be seen as proprietal-a woman was the property attained by a man. She was asked if her husband saw her as property, and she vehemently denied such a demeaning prospect. And yet, she couldn't give any other reason why gay marriage was wrong.
The way it's always been. PSHAW, I say. After awhile she tried to say the "studies show" that children in two parent households do better, two parent/man/woman households, that is. Again, false logic. Two parents, NOT man/woman is the key element here. Mature loving adult is key here, too.
Anyway, I have been curious to hear more arguments about it, because it helps to know what your adversaries and cohorts are saying.
A friend of mine put this on Fster. I'm inclined to pass it around-
HYPOCRITES
Rick Perry, Texas’ Governor and
George W. Bush’s Lieutenant Governor, is in the
process of going through a divorce due to his
wife catching him having an affair. This
particular affair was with a man. Not only a
man but also a fellow Republican in the Texas
government. Considering the current drive to
alter our Constitution and ban gay marriage it
seems appropriate that Bush’s right hand man
having a gay affair should be news. Especially
when Perry personally appointed the man he was
having an affair with to his current position.
This message may seem like dirty pool but since
we are in one of the most destructive
Presidencies in recent history it seems
appropriate to do anything to stop its
reelection. Not to mention you know this would
be news if it had been a Democrat. Demand to
know why this story is being buried. Force it
into America’s consciousness.
