There is no natural “right” to marriage, hence no “right” to “gay” marriage

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I am happy to elaborate my position on “gay” marriage further for the sake of those who suffer from the misconception that marriage is some kind of “human right”.

LIBERTY is the “human right”. LIFE is the “human right”. [Why I place the phrase "human right" in quotes is explained at length in DOF; basically there are no rights till a constitution is agreed, along with enforcement of the rule of law. By no means are natural rights to life and liberty automatic "rights" .]

But the question before us is: Is marriage a natural right?

No.

A constitutional liberal democracy must enforce the rule of law, through application of laws equally to all citizens. That does not mean, however, that the law must be blind to basic BIOLOGICAL facts of life.

For instance, in public places there are generally TWO separate toilets: one for men and one for women. 

Why?

Because men and women are DIFFERENT in their biological constitution. It is not a violation of liberty for men to be prohibited from entering women’s toilets in a public place (e.g. airport).

Similarly, children can ONLY be produced from a man and woman (regardless of any technological overlay, which STILL boils down to ONE man and ONE woman).

The right to marriage is therefore RESTRICTED only to a man and woman who will not just live together but could have have BIOLOGICALLY CREATED (i.e. natural) children

One may well ask: Is it crucial that children necessarily be produced in order for a union to be called “marriage”?

No. Even if a marriage does not produce children, the fact that biologically it COULD have, is sufficient. 

The fact that someone must necessarily adopt children or have them technologically produced (as must ALWAYS be the case in “gay” marriage), is fundamentally a different idea to that of marriage. These are two distinct sets; MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE:

There are those who argue that “gays” can adopt and hence “care” for children. But just because one is fit to be a nanny doesn’t mean he/she becomes a parent. The whole point of marriage was (and is) the natural upbringing of children.

In sum, there is no natural right to marriage. There is NO constitutional imperative or necessity for a society that guarantees liberty to also guarantee “gay” marriage.

There is, in addition, NO natural right to be able to “care” for children that are not one’s own. Yes, in a real marriage adoption sometimes becomes necessary. But that still allows for the NATURAL upbringing of children. That is NOT comparable in any form or shape to a “gay” “couple” who adopts a child. There is NO natural system of “gay” parents. PERIOD.

“Gay” people can live together and have SEPARATELY defined legal rights, particularly contractual arrangements for property or such things.

But no, their relationship is not, and cannot be marriage.

      There’s nothing “natural” about ANY kind of marriage. A couple of species in the animal world (yes, we are technically “animals”. just smart ones) mate for life, but mostly they’re a bunch of playas. Perhaps the author of this blog should be more concerned about real issues like the economy. And anyway, if two gays want to get married, let them. They’re gay, and that means less competition for the straight guys.
