Y’all are seriously against gay marriage?! Where are the Libertarians who say, “who gives a shit what two consenting adults want to do”?!?! This ain’t 1950 anymore folks.
This is because the left started using gay people has their sword and shield against the church and the right, and the church failed to recognize false dichotomies, and so they fell into the left's trap. We still have not corrected this. For example:
The left: People are born gay. The church: People choose to be gay. Truth: Sexual nature, including the gender that you are attracted to, is imprinted on your mind during your first sexual stimulation. Also, only bisexuals can choose which gender to enjoy sex with.
The left: Gay people need marriage so that their spouse can provide consent for their spouse's medical treatment at a hospital. The church: Marriage is for creating a family, also people past their reproductive years can get married, as long as they are straight. Truth: We could have forced hospitals to give consenting adults the ability to consent for each other's medical care without marriage. We do not need government to approve marriages. If your church approves, then you are married.
The left: Gay people should celebrate anal sex in popular culture: The right: We do not approve. Truth: Guys can be with other guys intimately without anal sex, and it should not be anyone's business, gay or straight. Also, stop being crass, regardless of who you are attracted to.
The left: Children need to explore their sexual identity. The right: This has gone way too far, we need to reverse all of this. Every sane person: Children should not be exploring sex. Also, we need to put more people in jail for exposing children to sex related topics.
What you are seeing is a pendulum. The left moved it far too much, and that created the energy for it to swing in the opposite direction. This swing happened before with the Weimar Republic's fall. If you want stability (everyone should), then we need to move it to the center, and that requires addressing the lies on both sides, including the lies in our own political party. Moving the pendulum to the center and keeping it there will require more energy than just allowing it to swing. And letting it swing to the right will hurt the right too, because eventually, it will swing back to the left again. We were divided and conquered, and the great awakening is about undoing that.
Just because everyone is comfortable in the center and doesn't feel the need to push back hard in their own preferred direction, does not mean the center represents what is best or right or just.
When the false dichotomies are removed, both the current left and right directions make less sense. When both the left and right use lies to support their positions, the center appears like a compromise. Something that is not right or just. I am not arguing for a center compromise, I am arguing for a new center based on truth. What is right or just cannot be built on lies.
And we see exactly where this slippery slope has taken us.
We tend to just stay out of these threads.
Makes sense, considering "these threads" often have nothing whatsoever to do with freedom or liberty.
Legalizing gay marriage is government control, as it implies government has any business in marriage.
I've tried to explain that not wanting the government to be involved is not the same as condoning a specific behavior but it falls on deaf ears.
I am convinced that a certain % of GAW wants to replace the current tyrannical government with a new tyrannical government, just one that enforces their preferred rules.
I've noticed the same, to be fair.
Plenty of people who appear interested in legislating morality.
Using the (in my view superior) left-right system where left is total government control and right is anarchy, these people are effectively leftists. They're just conservative in their morality.
The government has no business in marriage. The church won't marry gay people if they're really a church. It's not marriage if it's not done by a church. Marriage is a religious ceremony, always will be.
Basically, this has nothing to do with freedom.
You can fuck whoever you want in your own home, doesn't mean big daddy gooberment or a church will marry you.
