Yes, because it is scholarly and most importantly principled.
It is unique in the libertarian sphere for this reason.
Cato and stuff like the heritage foundation cuck to the state, ayn rand did the same thing.

I read from it every day. They also have an enormous library of free books in pdf from.
I believe in ideas and as far as economics go and interpersonal relationships go, to me, these are the best ideas. If people disagree with that that's A- ok but I do get irritated if people try to use sophistry against them instead of thinking them through.

It is also a great resource because it's an intellectual lineage that has been evolving since the enlightenment.
Therefore any argument that a statist would or could come up with has been debunked by at least 3 people and usually at multiple points in recent history.

Here is an article by stephen kinsella on how gay marriage would go in a free society that isn't from the von mises institute.

I think the activism end of it hasn't been good for lgbt in general.


Essentially, they intentionally ignored "flamers" (They outright say this in plan drafted by activists in the 1980's) and went on a PR war to portray gay couples as white upper middle class paragons of the community. The priority was never equality for all, it was equality for gays with money and status.

And now, its become about selling shit to those same people with money, like the constant plugs for Descovy, featuring trendy black gay men with tons of money.


As for my opinion on what people do in their personal lives, I have always supported it. Consenting adults can do what they want, its their life.

People who wanna engage in homosexual acts are free to do so if they like (though they will have to answer to God in the end) but marriage is an entirely different matter.


In the eyes of God, and by extension in the eyes of anyone who truly believes in Him, marriage is between a man and woman only.

God's decree >>>>>>>> any man-made law.

So, do I support "Same sex marriage"? I say there is no such thing as that because it contradicts what God has decreed marriage to be. You might as well ask me if I support leprechauns and vampires lol.

Like the man said, leave to ceaser what is ceasers.


State marriage is a different thing from religious sanctioned. As long as they don't force a faith into participation (Gets murky if they rent out for interfaith/atheist marriages, and become a public service)

Marriage does not belong to the state. God created it. It is His and His alone.

Just as the symbol of the rainbow is His alone. It doesn't belong to the LGBTQdyucfjudcjyd764hjud community.

eThneoLgrRnae
Really, people should not be asking the state for permission to get married. Marriage license or whatever is unnecessary because the institution of marriage belongs to God, alone.

So many of the things people ask the state for permission for are really unnecessary. Like getting a birth certificate, for example, or a social security number. It's all BS but people have heen brainwashed into thinking they need all that crap because it has all permeated our society so deeply. They really don't need any of it though.


They should take the red pill and wake up. Break out of the matrix.

All same-sex couples can be married now, not just the wealthy ones. So I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

If your Religion dictates same-sex marriage is wrong, that's your business.

Do not make me or anyone live by your beliefs.

My point is that was never the point.

But you're right, underclasses can marry along with upper classes. So I suppose there was good overall.


In terms of cultural acceptance, Jussie Smollet's character is distinguished from other portrayals as much in common as Larry the Cable Guy and characters from Young and the Restless.

Class will always been the big divider of equality. Everyone support these class based pecking orders.

Funny how some people like to call Homosexuality an abomination and say they have to answer to God.

Doesn't a Christian who watches tranny porn have to answer to God as well?

None of my business, but seeing as we're all being asked: There's no practical reason not to allow it. If two consenting adults want to get married, then so be it.

If the best argument against it is one of religious fanaticism, then it can't be that bad.

Families definition is pretty sound.

The whole point of breaks is to encourage having kids.


Frankly, the codes should be re-written to allow any couple raising kids as getting those benefits, while childless couples get treated the same way as two strangers rooming together, because there's no real reason for two people living together without any dependants to get any breaks then unmarried strangers.

It's just what I said.


Maybe this isn't specifically an argument against gay marriage, but why should childless married couples get government benefits?


Seems to me all those benefits like inheritance and tax deductions are based on incentives to raise up families, and build generational wealth. So why should any two childless people of any sexual orientation get those things?


Society doesn't benefit a lick from two assholes choosing to marry. Their love doesn't justify tax breaks, or any benefits aside from what any two live in roommates get.


We've been having the wrong conversation. It never should have been about whether gays can marry, but why anyone should get benefits for the privilege of being married.

Did it come from nothing, just like God must have?

Human reasoning does not jive with any cosmological model, including ones based on science like the big bang, because all of them rely upon the premise that something either came from nothing or always existed, which should be impossible. Atheists clowning religious people for believing God always existed or existed ex nihilo when their own beliefs rely upon that same belief are cringe tbqh.

You're the only one here that even believes in a literal interpretation of a biblical hell, and ironically, you are the only person who gets excited about it happening to other people. Based on your own book- your joy over other's sufferings will land you in that lake of fire as fast as any of us.

Remember, wishing you could hurt someone is the same as hurting someone according to Jesus.

I don't care about your book, or your religion, but if you do, you should do a better job of following it's teachings.

It's okay, we'll burn in hell after we die.,. I can't see the significance, but at least he'll take pleasure from it. :/

Not much more to say. He disproved his own big bang theory himself by labeling it as a great expansion theory which caused a lot of more explosions which turned into stars. Modern scientists agree with that and consider it fact.

@Backfire

Correct because if legal marriage is only supposed to be based on having children that means marriages with people who can't have children wouldn't be able to get married as well.

It's a terrible way to look at marriage.

Honestly I do think marriage as a government legal construct should go away and be replaced with some dependency type law. If someone is dependent on you for survival then they you could receive tax breaks.

Examples would be children, a partner that quits their job to be a stay at home parent..

I see no reason to get rid of marriage as a legally binding contract.

Technically, you can have any name you want once married... Yeah, you don't need to be married for a name change, it's just a good excuse, I guess.
