| I would agree that there is no relation to the rights of your person or property (i.e. murder, theft, rape) to the right engage in an activity that causes no actual harm to another's person or property (gay marriage). Marriage, however, is a public institution, and we do limit public activity based upon the level of offense it causes to a particular community. I believe this is to a degree necessary. Imagine the lewd and offensive behavior we would have to encounter each day if this were not so. |
