A Libertarian case in favour of marriage between a man and a woman.
From Heavensmydestination blog
The case that marriage should be between a man and a woman is clearly set forth in the Bible and so you either have to be a very myopic or else you just don't think it is relevant. But the arguments generally in favour not just derived from the Bible are compelling if you are prepared to listen.
But not enough people either think deeply enough and many are not prepared to listen and if you are heavily influenced by post-modernism, as a lot are, then reason is not likely ultimately to be particularly interesting to you if it stops you from doing what you want. And another key reason why this de-construction is sought is not just because of the strategic and organisational cleverness and wit of what is a relatively small community, our fellow citizens, who are happy to be called gay but also because it is supportive for many others of their politicisation of every aspect of society and too often denigration of those who have any association with the term "faith". The process it supports in other words is extremely helpful to an atheistic marxist idyll yet to be realised but for some, "any way which way you can". It is at this deeper level that the opposition needs also to be trained.
So, here is an article that steps away from any "faith" element of the arguments to give another perspective and it is from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in 2005. It is very helpful and supportive of marriage between a man and a woman and why but from a libertarian perspective; strangely you may say although it is not surprising if you understand some of the history of libertarianism in it's many forms.
The challenge here in reading this is an intellectual one but the arguments are worthwhile considering.
