"People are supposed to marry the person they love, not the person you approve of."
"So if you love your goat you should be allowed to marry it?"
Do I need to detail the difference between a person and a goat?
"What about if you love your two-year old?"
Of course I love my two year-old, but I don't see a whole lot of parents out there demanding the right to marry their two year-old kids...do you?
"Now you will probably respond that neither of those examples are valid because they are not mentally capable of entering into a marriage contract."
No, neither are capable of entering into ANY contracts, be they with a credit card company, or a recording company.
"What about your severely mentally disabled friend?"
Do they have legal standing to enter into contractual agreements?
"Or perhaps the guy who lives in the group home down the street who thinks he's Napoleon. What?"
Has he met his Josephine?
"They aren't capable either? What about the person who struggles with severe depression or paranoia? Still not capable?
Let me put your ridiculous "what ifs" into proper perspective, you are in effect arguing that since some people will commit violent crimes with guns, no one should have a gun.
Sound familiar to you?
How can you possibly miss the entire point?
Let me lay it out for you clearly. People who practice homosexual behavior are mentally ill to the point where they cannot enter into contracts. They are no more able to enter the marriage contarct than a goat or a two year old.
(Disagree with or argue the facts if you must Luis but I've read some of your writing. You are much too intelligent to ignore things just to defend your point. This sort of twisting is far beneath what I've always thought of you. I'm disappointed)
