Why not use a marital paradigm that can include both mating, heterosexual relations as well as matingless human relations? Answer: because it is absolutely impossible for the legal relationship between marriage and mating, heterosexual relations to be equal. With marriage a man and a woman can only be legally married as legally being mating, heterosexual relations. With marriage it is absolutely impossible for a man and a woman to be legally married as legally being matingless opposite gender relations. And it works both ways. With matingless (i.e. same sex) marriage a man and a woman can only be legally married as legally being matingless opposite gender relations. With matingless (i.e. same sex) marriage it is absolutely impossible for a man and a woman to be legally married as legally being mating, heterosexual relations. And that is the one and only way marriage between a man and a woman can be redefined, i.e., from mating to matingless. 2. There is only one marriage. There is only one marital paradigm. The only question is which human relations in objective reality is this one and only marriage and this one and only marital paradigm going to be legally predicated on. And there are only two possibilities, mating, heterosexual relations, or, matingless human relations. And since a woman can not physically enter another woman with her reproductive organs, but, a man can physically enter another man with his reproductive organ via anal sodomy, same sex marriage will legally predicate the perpetuation of the human species on matingless homosexual relations, specifically two males performing anal sodomy. So, am I to conclude equality like beauty is in the eye of the beholder? And if same sex marriage advocates are wrong then what are the consequences and why should those consequences be reevaluated?
