There are no such things as homosexual rights

Talk about rights only makes sense if rights are understood as universal - claims due to every person by virtue of one's status as a human being. A universal human right is equally the claim of a homosexual as it is of heterosexual. Thus the term 'gay right' is incoherent - unless one wants to define a right in another way.

Marriage is a unique union between male and female. No other relationship compares with it in its analysis. Every person has the human right to marry, to enter into that unique female-male relationship. Denial of the right to marry occurs when a particular female and a particular male are prevented arbitrarily from fulfilling their wish to marry. The choice not to marry because of some other competing preference cannot be understood as a denial of one's human rights.

Changing the meaning of marriage by legislation is an undemocratic political tactic employed by self-interested groups to impose their political agenda on the rest of the community. Subverting the democratic process by gaining control of our society's institutions to push through one's ideological goals is a common and successful tactic employed these days by small fanatical groups.

Ignorance is not bliss.
