Skybird, I don't understand some of your post.

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.

How would extending marraiges to homosexuals harm the protection of children? That gay couples don't produce children shouldn't limit their recognition in the eyes of the law, and the future possibility of children is not what should underly the concept of marraige.
Anyways, we're talking about a rather small group of people here. |
I think what Skybird was trying to say is that he feels homosexual couples do not have to weigh on the possibility of procreating when deciding to get hitched, which he thinks is an anchor for heterosexual marriage. Without concerns of raising and maintaining a stable family and household, a homosexual couple won't enter into marriage quite as seriously. I think.
