I have, in all my years, never heard that position successfully argued.
Marriage-protection amendments almost universally outlaw not only marriage equality but also the establishment of other non-"marriage" arrangements that carry the same benefits as marriage. Please explain how someone could agree with that but not hold any hate towards homosexuals.
- spindritf 14y agoMarriage benefits are a subsidy towards a particular social arrangement (and it changes all the time, mostly through the shape of tax and divorce laws). You don't have to hate anyone to be against extending it. There are supporters and opponents of beef subsidies but cow hate is not the major driving force there. Of course, politics is not about policy http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/09/politics-isnt-a.html http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/09/politics-isnt-a.html so it's very difficult to successfully argue anything because the argument (on any political topic, and in any direction) will almost always be disingenuous.
- incest 14y agoMarriage benefits should be different for heterosexual and homosexual couples like beef and pork subsidies.
