I have pointed out, to some effect, that “homesexual marriage” is not a proposal to expand liberty, but a proposal to expand tyranny. After all, any two people, or more than two people, or some groups of people and a collection of farm animals and household goods, can live together legally. Unless it’s brought to their attention, nobody outside the couple/group/collective is going to mention the personal relationships among the parties. That would be tacky!

If any couple/group/household wants to hold a “wedding” ceremony, there are religious groups that will gladly do it for them. Or they can find a friend with cool academic robes from a European university and have a “commitment” of any nature they like. Their friends will rejoice with them, and the general public will not care.

So what’s the controversy? The controversy is because these people not only want to “do their own thing,” but to force everyone, with the police power of government, to recognize, celebrate, and facilitate their personal activities in the same way they would a one man/one woman marriage. This is not liberty - liberty is doing your own thing, and not doing what’s not your own thing. What the homosexualists want is oppression - everyone else’s being forced to act against their own conscience or personal taste.
