Love Will Out | T. Thorn Coyle: Know Thyself
“To give one set of citizens rights denied to another set is illegal and unjust. However, for me, allowing two men or two women to marry one another just isn’t enough…
What right does government have to tell us what sorts of relationships are important to us, or what sorts of families we can build and grow together? We cannot build the society I want for us all – a society of comrades and friends, who care for one another’s children, who wipe away the tears of a friend we’ve had for 30 years, who share food and housing when times are tough or when times are very good – we cannot build this when we are intent upon saying that love is only important, and only has rights, when shared between two people.
Love is greater than that. We are greater than that. I firmly trust that we can work out how to love and whom to commit to on our own.” [i.e., without the government’s intervention]
