Homosexuality activists' complaint eye opening

Homosexuality activists in their push for same-sex marriage, have a tactic - they play called the "Love card". While it is ridiculous to pretend that acts that are neither serving, unitive, nor procreative are love, this claim is however quite eyeopening on a similar issue. They contend that not being able to "marry" the same-sex person they live with deprives that person of the "thousand rights and benefits" that are only extended to married people. In order to protect their lover they need to be able to offer them these all of these rights and benefits.

This sounds to me like they are saying that it actually does take that ole piece of paper to prove you love that someone you wish to "live" with; or rather that if you really do love someone, rather than shack-up you would want them to have all of the protections and advantages provided by the marriage certificate.Only self interest, which is anathema to true love, could keep one from wanting another to benefit in this way.

I think the gay activists are inadvertently making this statement about people with heterosexuality who are in the similar situation of shacking-up; they are saying that it is unloving to not look out for the other persons best interest by making sure they get those "thousand rights and benefits." They are saying that cohabitation among other wrongs is claiming to be in eternal love while keeping the get-away car idling.

So either they and their buddies in the press, by implication, are making a judgement against shacking-up or they are disingenuous activists who don't care about contradictions in their logic. They are too busy throwing everything up against the wall and seeing if any of it sticks. The media would defend to the death the claim that living-in-sin is somehow just as good as covanental marriage, so it is fun to catch them inadvertently admitting that true lovemaking can only be physically expressed in the marital embrace.

As to the test-drive theory of love I have to say it can't be recommended by anyone who understands the basic psychology of decision making. Spiritually it thwarts the natural grace of the Sacrament and thereby kills a thousand small joys commonly enjoyed by all generations up until the 1970's.
