After reading a post title “Gay and Lesbian marriage should be legalized in all fifty states”, something about the word legalized implied a congressional decision. This debate is not going to go away. I find it interesting that on one hand, some who are opposed to government regulating morality are also demanding that government make a decision regarding what can be can be categorized as a moral issue.
Historically we have accepted the definition of marriage as a union between a man and woman. One can search any number of reference books such as a dictionary and find definitions supporting this historical view. But today there seems to be a growing demand to revisit the meaning of marriage.
As a created being we have free will. If two individuals desire a union outside the traditional definition of marriage, I don’t agree, but so be it; just don’t call it marriage. Create a new term for this civil union, with all rights of a trustee or beneficiary. Why is there a push to change my view, opinion, or definition of what marriage means?
I am amazed at the expectation people have for others to change their views. For example in some environments you are not allowed to say Christmas; it’s Xmas or Happy Holidays. I don’t have a problem if you want to have Xmas; just find another time and define what it means; don’t expect me to change my view of Christmas.
The author of the post stated it’s all about love. We love our children, and our pets, but I don’t think anyone is pushing for legislation that will allow an individual to unite with either and call it marriage.
