Kevin Spacey Talks Gay Marriage

I have patiently listened to every argument favoring Prop 8 that I could find. Not a single one has been based in any kind of logic. Piling on apocalyptic rhetoric is not a basis for law. I understand many people’s personal issues with gay rights. However, in a free society, individual squeamishness is not a basis for creating a law. Elastic phrases like “the fabric of society” have been used to the point of meaninglessness. People love to start rhetoric wars but the world at large has a very difficult time with employing cold, logical thinking.
Marriage is an institution taking place between consenting adults. Religious beliefs do not play a factor in marriage as a legal institution as religion and government are kept separate by the first amendment (yes, I am aware that the words “separation of church and state” are not uttered in the constitution, but if you actually the amendment, the concept is thoroughly outlined.) Aside from religious views, there are other arguments that do not hold water. The argument that legalizing gay marriage would require public schools to endorse homosexuality is false. In my time at public school no kind of relationship was endorsed in any specific terms. Schools exist to convey information and have no place dictating our ethical development except as it applies to the obedience of standard law.
The concept that, since same-sex partners can not procreate, they should be denied marriage rights is also a logical dead end. By this line of logic, marriage should be denied to anyone who is incapable of procreating (or simply chooses not to procreate).
Under the skin of every argument supporting the denial of marriage rights to homosexuals (or people of other alternative lifestyles) is rooted in a personal prejudice. Don’t take that too hard, people. Everyone has prejudice whether they will admit to it or not. The problem is that freedom begets risk. And a risk that has received a great deal of attention and warrants none, is the risk that one’s personal morals may be violated by the practices of others. No one has the “right” to not be offended mentally by the unobtrusive actions of others. Those who argue otherwise simply do not have the inclination to live in a truly free society. I understand your feelings, but from a legal standpoint, they have NO basis.
Please, if anyone can offer a single argument for this proposition that is based in a logic that will hold water for the tenets of a free society, I would love to hear it. I’ve met only with carefully worded failures at this attempt.

i think gay marriages should be legalized. if they love each other and plan to stay together they should have the same rights as the regular marriages.
