Marriage equality: Why I won’t be saying ‘I do’ to gay marriage
SUPPORTERS of the redefinition of marriage say the issue is straightforward ‘equality’ for gay people and acceptance in mainstream society. These ‘yes’ supporters define the issue in terms of love. Who could disagree with the right to equality, the freedom to express love in the language and ritual of marriage?
If you can persuade the electorate that you are championing love and equality, then your opponents need very good arguments indeed. It must be shown that those arguments are also grounded in love and equality.
