Is marriage an institution of the State or an institution of God?
The state. You have natural rights but having a recognized marriage is the perogative of society/state. No one has a ‘right’ to get married. It is this confusion between natural rights and legislated customs that cause the conflict.
I don’t understand , how is it no one has the right to get married[/quote]
Rights are essential to your existence as a rational being. You are born with those. Marriage is a social contract, not a right. Therefore, society may decide who is allowed to marry.
Homosexuals want to re-define marriage as a right, so that they can bypass the voting public. Look at all the screaming and the gays hunting down those who supported the Cali legislation.
The danger in allowing any of this is the equivocating of rights with social contracts. Then ALL rights become whims of the government. Does anyone want that? The gays, intentionally or not, are out to destroy the basic premises of Western Cvilisation.
