Texas Drifter: Same Sex Marriage Advocates Hypocrites?
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Do selective belief standards which only apply to same sex marriage advocates make same sex marriage advocates hypocrites? Same sex marriage advocates core beliefs are equality without prejudice which apparently only apply to same sex marriage advocates.
Definition of hypocrisy is false claim to or of having admirable beliefs or attitudes. Example, it is hypocrisy to do what one criticizes in others.
Same sex marriage based on equality without prejudice for all ends where? Does above principle based on individual not community standards extend to following?
1. Multiples of partners
2. Marrying children
3. Marrying one’s own child
4. Marrying siblings
5. Marrying parent
6. Marrying animals
7. Marrying plants
8. Marrying dead embalmed person based on their “last will and testament”
9. Marrying ones self if one has multiple personalities
10. Reader can add to list
Are same sex marriage advocates hypocrites if they do not demand same civil rights to others that same sex marriage advocates are demanding for themselves?
Maybe just maybe, community standards should play determining role in some individuals’ public conduct? Bottom line, equality without prejudice in public conduct only applies to everyone in anarchy defined by promiscuity – example Sodom and Gomorra.
Public conduct restrained by Judeo-Christian traditions based societies, are less likely to create Sodom and Gomorra type moral anarchy societies. America’s Constitution Framers intended to allow regional “societies” like States to develop their own community standards with the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Why, so citizens who sought more public liberties could simply move to another State.
Inalienable right “pursuit of free will” allows all citizens rights to pursue their own indiscretions in private; so long as they do not threaten others not consenting or those below age of consent.
There is wisdom in adage “out of sight, out of mind”; Texas Drifter speaking only for myself: equality without prejudice does not include one being forced into public setting like a restaurant and have to sit next to “modern day” polygamist. Especially if he or she is smooching on dead embalmed spouse with their other spouses at same table like: young child; one of their parents; one of their siblings; miniature pony; plant; space alien; or empty chair for one of their multiple personalities.
Reader can whine if they like, what principle allows same sex marriage advocates, a minority of population, to claim equality with out prejudice and have that principle only apply to them and no other minority group?
“Public equality” with out prejudice has limitations; ever heard prejudices against yelling fire in crowded theater? Citizens can walk around in privacy of their own residences and scream fire until they collapse from exhaustion – no one cares. Try doing same thing in crowded public environment. TRUE or FALSE
Translation, freedom of association includes freedom of non-association. Equality without prejudice includes respecting other citizens’ rights of non-association. Same sex marriage advocates acting other wise define pure hypocrisies.
Bonus question, one of America’s core principles is “equal opportunity without privilege” a President Jackson observation. Neither life nor America’s Constitution owes any special group special privileges or exemptions from community standards. TRUE or FALSE
Clue, same sex marriage advocates who do not like existing due process laws can either use Article V. to abolish the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Their second option is move to Blue States like California and stay out of Red States like Texas. Again the issue is not what consenters do behind closed doors; issue is what consenters want to display in public.
