Usually I would not pay too much attention to how two people arrange the way in which they wish to live together. But once there are children of these two, I find it a good idea to make it somewhat more binding and obligatory by law to stay together and care for the children, and make it less easy to split apart. Thats the idea why families are under special protection by the state and the laws: the children. For the same reason I am strictly against equalizing homosexual partnerships to heterosexual marriages. Couples eventually produce children by their own, and to raise kids is an enomous enterprise. Homosexual partnerships do not compare to these risks, efforts, and longterm commitmeents to protect some vulnerable (while small) people. That political correctness these days has led to attempts to give an impression that such relations equal the social value and deserve special protection of hetero couples (who potentially always must be considered to produce children), shows how idiotic and perverted PC in this regard is.
That is also the way the German constitution sees it, and mentions it. People who argue against the special status of families and want to relativise it regarding homosexual relations being turned into "marriages", do not understand the importance this institution has for our social communities. You marry for the sake of planned or possibly, accidentally produced children - not for tax reliefs, or social repuation for yourself being gay or lesbian. That's how it has been since long time, and i think that is how it should be.
Not discriminating homosexuals - yes. Hetero-marriages and the same legal status for marriages between homos, like for normal families - no, I totally oppose it. And in no way I see that as discrimination. I am not discriminated myself for not having dark but blond hair, even if I would have preferred the dark hair.
I would mourn about the egoism and stupditiy that express themselves in the number of divorces, and the many young women raising kids all alone. do you really need to jump into bed with every first ooportunity stranger, must you really share your bed without taking precautionary measures when you live solo, or are all so young? Toomoften people come togteher that in no way seem to match, and short time later they divorce again. This kind of behavior and thoughtlessness illustrates unripe minds even if the people are already 25 or 30 or older, and a lacking sense of commitment ans responsibility. Sexual revolution? nice and well, but it also lead to massive dose of socially subsidized egoism - and the community should help and pay for this kind of thoughtlessness. Somebody having a new partner every three weeks should not be admired or labelled "cool", but should be expelled , or having had a serious word with in order to clean jis sick or unripe mind - it depends on the single case. That V"I"Ps give so bad examples in these regards, nevertheless are admired as idols, certainly is not helpful. In the end it all shows how degenerated out precious Western social communties have become, if these precious special social communties more and more are unable to make sure that people are being raised and become adult in a climate that would educate them accordingly regarding that they are better prepared and somewhat immune to act that selfishly and stupidly. If you accept idiots being idols for your kids, do not wonder if your kids become idiots themselves. This you will not cure neither by endless oh so wellmeaning softtalking pedagogic efforts nor by endless migration badly -edcuated patriarchalic people from different cultures that live by the the principles of male chieftains tyrannizing their families at home - both wife and sons. both things just make sure that coditions become constantly worse, while educational and social elites leave and head for better places in other countries, or even continents.
