Reply to "Animals are Sacred. Homosexuals are NOT."

Cobra,

The defense of the rights of a minority is incredibly important when faced with a majoritarian system of government. This is why fundamental rights are not at the whim and fancy of the majority.

The issue of gay rights comes down to the rights of individuals within our system of ordered liberty. It is the right of individuals to pursue happiness to the greatest extent possible provided they do not infringe on the rights of their fellow citizens.

I used to oppose gay marriage and I personally do to an extent because I personally prefer traditional marriage. However, I live in a society where i do not want to be told how to live my personal life so I hesitate to instruct others on how to live their life. Sexual activity between consenting adults is a private matter. And marriage as far as the government should be concerned is the adjudication of contractual issues arising from it.

The government should never be in the business of regulating the bedrooms of adults.

For the same reasons, divorce was crafted. One should be free to enter marriage and free to leave it.

On what basis can I tell another citizen who he must consort with?

What is your social contract rationale for denial of rights to people just because Cobra and Cobra's Bible says so?
