At the request of another poster, I have started a new thread, similar in scope to this one: Gay Marriage, is it right to stop it?
Here is the argument against allowing gay marriage to be recognized by law. Feel free to argue against the truth of the premises or the validity of the logic.
Premise 1: No kind of marriage license should be recognized by the law
------Sub argument for Premise 1------
-SubPremise 1: The law should not recognize privileges that are not available to everyone.
-SubPremise 2: Any kind of marriage license is legal recognition of privileges that are only available to married individuals.
-SubPremise 3: Not everyone is a married individual
-.'. No kind of marriage licenses should be recognized by the law
Premise 2: Gay marriage licenses are a kind of marriage license
.'. Gay marriage licenses should not be recognized by the law.
