Re: Gay and Lesbian Relationships
Nope, I'm not even close to a true libertarian (except maybe in this area). But I don't have an issue with those things. I agree with Fencerjared, no more rights beyond what is currently given to married couples.

Wow, I don't even want to know how that came out of my forum name.

Re: Gay and Lesbian Relationships
Speaking of a libertarian perspective myself.
I am both for and against gay marriage. Personally don't care if gay people are married or not. Don't care if there are poly-sects. Could care less. What I DO care about is that there are government advantages to being married. All the reasons that gay activists say it is unfair they cannot get married -- as in government privledges or rights they cannot access -- are a reason for me to be opposed to it from a policy perspecitve. It's not that I don't want gay couples to enjoy those government advantages. It's that I want those government advantages TAKEN AWAY from those with the married status. And have the government disadvantages taken away from those with single status. The government should not reward nor punish individuals nor grant nor take away rights depending upon marital status. Once this is accomplished, gay marriage becomes a mute point. This is the solution not talked about in polite (mainstream/conservative or pundit) media. Perhaps it's something I should send over to John Stossel to bring up. DUND is underestimated and under-rated. |

If the reason for the fuss on gay marraige is privledge or lackthereof, where does that privledge or lackthereof originate? The government. Why is there a lack of priveldge to gay's who want to marry? Because government has given privledge to those who are straight and marry and then disallow access to those who are gay. Do away with the prerequisiate of the privledge as being "married" and you do away with the controversy. DUND is underestimated and under-rated. |

From a state perspective, the recognition of marriage may have come as a way to encourage "stable communities that produce future taxpayers". Still, there are economic benefits to being married. Why do you feel that it is appropriate to discriminate against those who are in homosexual relationships? |
