>Marrying is not about behavior, it is about traditional behavior.
Oh? This is your view of marriage and you are certainly entitled to it and can apply it to your own marriage and your own life and teach it to your children. But what gives you the right to define marriage for others in this way?
>>It is a responsibilty to conform him/herself to certain kind of traditional behavior, and, as long as it is optional, it is not discriminatory. If you don't like this kind of behaviour that take another one and be happy; but don't tell me how my traditional behavior should be re-defined.
Your behavior can be whatever you like. You do not have a right to use the government to mandate your view of this institution for others who do not share your world-view.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
