Libertarians Should Oppose Gay Marriage

1. Sodomy is a wicked, filthy abomination.

            Rom 1:26 – For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

            Rom 1:27 – And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

            Lev 18:22 – Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

1. Ideologies and political philosophies must be subordinate to the word of God.
2. Libertarians generally support “gay” marriage under the rhetoric of “marriage equality” and “gay rights”.
3. They advocate that the government should not prohibit members of the same sex from marrying each other.
4. They say that people should have the freedom to marry whom they will.
5. They’re right, sodomites have the same rights as everyone else: male sodomites can marry a woman and female sodomites can marry a man.
6. Marriage and words cannot be redefined by governments; God defines marriage (Mat 19:4-6) and the dictionary defines words.
7. Marriage – 1. a. The condition of being a husband or wife; the relation between married persons; spousehood, wedlock.
8. Husband – 1. The master of a house, the male head of a household. 2. a. A man joined to a woman by marriage. Correlative of wife.

iii.      Wife n. – 1. a. A woman…2. a. A woman joined to a man by marriage; a married woman. Correlative of husband n. 2. (The ordinary current sense.)

1. Therefore to call anything “marriage” beside the lifelong union of a man and a woman is a contradiction of terms.
2. “Gay marriage” is an oxymoron.
3. Libertarianism strongly advocates limited government.
4. Libertarians contend that the federal government at a maximum should only have authority in areas delegated to it in the Constitution.
5. Some libertarians are minarchists or anarchists who believe in less government yet, or no government at all.
6. Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government given authority to grant marriage licenses.
7. Libertarians generally believe that at a maximum any government should only have power to protect life, liberty, and property.
8. Issuing a state marriage license does not protect liberty; it restricts liberty.
9. License – 1. To give (a person) permission to (do something). b. To permit (a thing) to be done; sometimes with dat. of the person. 3. To grant (a person) a license or authoritative permission to hold a certain status or to do certain things, e.g. to practice some trade or profession, to hold a curacy, to preach, to use armorial bearings, to keep a dog, to carry a gun, etc.
10. To give the State authority to issue “gay marriage” licenses is to give the State more power over the lives of people, not less.
11. Therefore, libertarians should oppose any marriage license, including regular ones.
12. If you are a Christian and you subscribe to a political philosophy which supports “gay marriage”, then you must deny that tenet of the philosophy, though you may hold to other tenets of it.
13. Remember, you are a Christian first, and a libertarian, republican, democrat, etc., second.

III.   Even if the State refuses to give marriage licenses to sodomites to marry each other, nothing is stopping them from putting rings on each other’s fingers.

1. The issue is not marriage, but rather forcing people to except their abhorrent lifestyle and getting government tax breaks and other benefits.
