Gay Marriage
I think I will be one of the first alleged ‘bigots’ to stand up and comment about the immaturity of gay marriage. Gay people do NOT get along with the opposite sex. Gay people are more comfortable habituating with the same sex. Gay people are afraid or do NOT have the ability to cooperate with the opposite sex.
Homosexuality is xenophobia of the opposite sex. Homosexuals are incapable of cooperating with their opposing paradigmatic culture.
If homosexuality is genetic, then it is a Darwinian, dysfunctional immaturity which disallows the species to propagate; as if the creature was a retarded mutation incapable of procreation.
Otherwise, homosexuality is a social choice of immaturity.
Maturity is determined by a set of social standards. The criminal system incarcerates immature people who cause harm to fellow humans. Universities reward high discipline and mature ability with merits in degrees and PhD’s. Maturity is displayed in one’s ability to cope with diversity. Diversity is most prominent between the paradigms of conflicting cultures. There is no greater cultural diversity than between the paradigms of the male culture and the female culture. Cooperation between these two cultures (male/female) requires the greatest amount of maturity from each adult. This high standard of maturity is the ultimate goal of society.
Society gives children 18 years to mature. If Johnny wants the rewards of an 8 year old, he must behave accordingly. As Johnny grows, society expects age appropriate behavior from him. Society becomes disserviced if Johnny refuses to mature and fails to strive to achieve his full potential. Johnny must display his ability to handle diversity in order to be accepted into an adult world of maturity. Society expects mature behavior. If an adult wishes to be rewarded with the perks, benefits and prestige of marriage, then they must display their ability to cooperate with the world’s greatest diversity. Society reserves its highest merits for its most mature adults. A mature man and a mature woman, together are the only people who can display society’s greatest level of maturity. Marriage should be reserved for them.
