thank you, thank you, thank you for making this point. i have been waiting for pages now for someone to make it. (kinda ironic that the gay guy did it?)
no- marriage is NOT natural. which is why it was so special. which is why it is so valuable and necessary. which is why it took so long to develop. which is why it is so important to protect. if we see ourselves as mere animals, our natural state is to run out and f*ck whoever we can whenever we can to carry on the species. if we see ourselves as evolved human beings that are reflections of god who elevated us, then we need things like the institution of marriage to help us be that.
Fascism is not natural either. It's certainly not special, valuable, or necessary.
Automobiles are not natural either. And they are not an absolute necessity for life or civilization.
Moreover, I still fail to see why if I love someone and am with them for decades I need some old man wearing weird robes and a funny hat speaking out of an antiquated book of fables and a piece of paper from the courthouse downtown in order to be an elevated form of life. That's just silly.
