Like all things political, the “gay marriage” issue has become far more battle cry than sane discussion.
What we call gay marriage is not about a church recognized covenant between a man, a woman, and God.
Marriage is politics.
Now, marriage is about Social Security, bereavement pay, visitation rights, property rights, work rules, tax rules, and more rules. Marriage is legal, contractual, corporate, political privilege, rights, guardianship and health care.
So, those who now want to claim the moral high ground on traditional marriage have wallowed into the preposterous role of promoting disparity in matters of simple justice.
I propose we get politics entirely out of marriage. Not only is this the moral thing to do, it is also the law of the land. Our constitutions were written to prevent politicians from granting “to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.”
This is all written down in the annotated Indiana and U.S. constitutions. These precious, workable laws will be on the U.S. Senate ballot exclusively under the name, Andrew Horning (L).
Andrew Horning of Freedom, Ind., is the Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate.
