>>84251131The only thing keeping gays from getting married is biology.
A marriage is two people contracting a relationship AND consummating it with sexual intercourse. You need both of those to have a marriage.
Two people contract a marriage, sign forms, do the ceremony, and never engage in natural carnal copulation? Then they aren't really married.
If they apply for benefits based on this sham marriage (eg, immigration rights)? Then it is a fraudulent marriage.
Two men cannot engage in natural copulation, and neither can two women. They cannot get married. They never could, not in the entire history of humanity.
Two guys want to shack up? No problem.
They want the same benefits that a real married couple get? That's fraud. A real couple engages in that activity which, unless externally affected, creates children.
A real marriage isn't an individual right; rather, it's a social institution that affects society and will continue to affect society long after the couple have died.
Pretending a gay marriage is real is like pretending the earth is flat. It may make those people feel better, but it still isn't real.
