| I'd like to look at this from a slightly different angle. I'm going to make a case for gay marriage a little more complicated than "Equality!".
The government has an interest in reducing the spread of STD's, especially HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS has a high incidence among gay men; the government therefore has a legitimate interest in discouraging promiscuity among gay men. Marriage promotes a long-term, monogamous relationship, so, logically, marriage for gay men just makes sense.
Now, Dirty Name and others, how is this argument in any way inferior to yours?
If only I could saith, so should I. |
