WHO EXACTLY ARE WE HURTING

Those who promote the hatred of Gays say that they must protect the institution of marriage from Gay marriage. But no one of that position has ever explained how exactly allowing those of us whose biology only allows us to be romantically attracted to people of our own gender to marry those we are able to love harms the institution of marriage in any way. We are not proposing ending Heterosexual marriage, for one thing, our species would die off. I realize at least one short story on this blog did have all but Gay marriage banned, but that story was being used to make a point and see how Gay Haters felt being on the other side of things for once. I am certainly not really promoting that, but I would like to be able to marry my Boy-Friend,,if I ever come to that point with another man. I personally may not, of course, but others have, do and will, and they should have the right, under the law, to marry whom they choose. Churches can of course choose who they do and do not perform marriages with, and many more open minded Religious Institutions are coming around to the view that performing gay marriages is not against The Law of God, since The Greatest Two Commandments are about love. But be that as it may, as a legal matter, there should be equality under the law. Separation of Church and State means not only The Church stays out of the government but the government stays out of the Church. As a Legal Matter, no one has ever given a coherent argument why those of us who are Gay should not have the Right to the same recognition of our unions as those who are Heterosexual. So, I close by repeating the title of this post, who exactly are we hurting?
