Frank Boosman takes apart Orson Scott Card's ridiculous arguments against gay marriage
In the first place, no law in any state in the United
States now or ever has forbidden homosexuals to marry. The law has
never asked that a man prove his heterosexuality in order to marry a
woman, or a woman hers in order to marry a man.
Any homosexual man who can persuade a woman to take him as her
husband can avail himself of all the rights of husbandhood under the
law. And, in fact, many homosexual men have done precisely that,
without any legal prejudice at all.
Ditto with lesbian women. Many have married men and borne children.
And while a fair number of such marriages in recent years have ended in
divorce, there are many that have not.
So it is a flat lie to say that homosexuals are deprived of any
civil right pertaining to marriage. To get those civil rights, all
homosexuals have to do is find someone of the opposite sex willing to
join them in marriage... This is so nonsensical, it's amusing. Card to gays: "You can marry! Just not each other! What's the problem?" Does he actually believe this?
