Right now the Supreme Court just heard arguments surrounding California's proposition 8. Otherwise known as the law that made illegal, again, for gay couples to get married. The case is being argued by private lawyers on both sides because California decided pretending its broken system of direct democracy is best ignored in the hopes it will go away.
Ah, but it won't go away and those defending this law may have a point. They argue that allowing gays to marry does injury to the state. How does it do injury to the state? Because by breaking with a "traditional" definition of marriage all marriages are invalidated.
Think this is crazy?
Well think back to the early twentieth century when we decided to abandon "traditional voting" by letting women do it too. No man has been able to bring himself to vote in defiled voting booths ever since.
And remember when we used to have a thing called land ownership? Yeah, that went away too when we said women could own real estate.
And businesses. There was once a tradition that businesses were owned by men (except when they were not) and once women started doing that too men had no interest in making money and being in charge of large corporations.
The NFL used to be a white boys only club...except for that team of Native American's, but we'll ignore that in the same way Proposition 8 proponents ignore all the cultures that have allowed same sex marriage for thousands of years. Anyways, once they started letting in colored people the NFL was never the same again. It's not like it rakes in billions and billions of dollars each year and is the second most profitable sports league on the planet.....wait, apparently it does. It seems only the Premiere League makes more money.
Okay, anyways, property ownership was also defiled when the traditional right to own slaves was also taken away. I mean who even wants to own things when one of those things can't be a person?
Then there is government. What happened to traditional government where the person in change of everyone wasn't elected but was just assumed to be the best person for the job because their grandparents killed everyone and set up a hierarchy? Oh, they still do that in North Korea? Awesome. See people, at least someone out there gets it! We don't, after all, need crazy ideas about republics or Things. They clearly never worked. Having someone just assert their divine right to rule all based on ambiguous hierarchy was obviously the only way that would ever work.
So, should the Supreme Court decide gays can marry don't be surprised when existing married couples all over the world just stop looking at each other and wander off into the wilderness in despair their once burning love for their partner torn in pieces by the scourge of progressive thinking that dares to think all people are equal.
