Gay Marriage: France says No

Love is not the issue at all, I suspect no one would deny the participants in homosexual, or even just same gender, but platonic relationships the right to become engaged with one another, but 'marriage', per se is not a matter for same gender couples.

There is absolutely nothing preventing people making legal arrangements to ensure the relationship is fully protected as far as property and personal safety is concerned without entering into the domain of 'marriage' recognised in the same manner as that between heterosexual couples.

The whole legal framework of 'marriage' has been established to ensure the birthrights of the family, which means children, and succeeding generations, having property and genetic values established and maintained.

Marriage has need to be even more rigidly protected from being warped by the claims of the homosexual fraternity, far more so whilst under the current round of attacks emanating from that fraternity.

'Love' does not even come into the arena,such an emotion is hardl;y, if actually recognised in nthe legality of trhe marriage contract. to make such claim is just another attemptm too undermine that contract.

Homosexuals can leave 'marriage' out of their agenda, and opt instead for some sort of civil contract, which may or may not parallel the established 'marriage' contract. but debasing that contract by allowing equal status is nothing short of an attempt to destruct the legitimate principles of millennia.
