Is Mise, you said,"Marriage records are of inestimable value to those doing family research and no less so in tracking and avoiding hereditable disease, for the latter reason alone there needs to be official records".

Correct: but importantly there are no heredity genes passed on by same sex couples should they marry, as they cannot have offspring.

AJ, you don't mean equality. Not unless you support polygamy, group marriage and adult incestuous marriage. In fact any form of union between any consenting adults.
The consenting adults in these groups won't be allowed to marry under your " equality" rules.
No, what you want is to destroy a thousands year old tradition for the benefit of a handful of people who have decided that adopting a heterosexual custom will somehow normalise their relationship

Yes, I do mean ‘equality’, Big Nana.

We already covered this. Remember?

Your comparing same-sex marriage to other harmful forms of married turned out to be false analogies.

<<The consenting adults in these groups won't be allowed to marry under your " equality" rules.>>

Already explained. See the discussion at the link provided. You are simply committing the slippery slope fallacy again.

<<No, what you want is to destroy a thousands year old tradition… >>

You have yet to demonstrated this rather offensive assumption, and, going by your failure to support your claims on this topic in our previous discussion, face an uphill battle in doing so.

This is a fallacious appeal to tradition.

<<… for the benefit of a handful of people who have decided that adopting a heterosexual custom will somehow normalise their relationship>>

“Somehow normalise”? So, now you’re fallaciously appealing to nature?

That’s the anti-marriage-equality trifecta of fallacies in a mere 75 words. It takes some fantastically poor reasoning to achieve that.

"Correct: but importantly there are no heredity genes passed on by same sex couples should they marry, as they cannot have offspring"

That's true but irrelevant to the topic, "Legislating people to accept marriage".

Dear Josephus,

Technological has changed. Same sex couples are now
able to have offspring by various methods and their
genes can be passed on.

But you are only going over old ground when all that you have to do is to admit the obvious, as publicly conceded by Peter Hitchens, that the International Socialists, the 'Progressives' have already had their convincing wins and long ago.

Now all that remains is for the 'Progressives' to accept and admit responsibility where there are negative consequences of their social experiments.

Peter Hitchens, "People like me – though still allowed to speak – are allowed on to mainstream national broadcasting only under strict conditions: that we are ‘balanced’ by at least three other people who disagree with us so that our views, actually held by millions, are made to look like an eccentric minority opinion.”

Peter Hitchens: "You’ll have the whole world to yourself soon. You can’t imagine anybody else is entitled to hold a view different from yours without having some kind of personal defect. That’s what’s wrong with you…"

Dan Savage: …"It’s a less intolerant world than it used to be because people like me are now empowered to look at people like you and say you are full of [*profanity*]."
