I don’t see heterosexuals as normal and homosexuals as perverted, for me to be actively sexual in any way is a perversion, and I see perversion as harmful (if not for the individual who is perverted – to zirs partner/s, relatives and/or society). Everybody has sexual urges, but it’s up to the person if ze will let them loose. So, I don’t divide people into hetero and homo, but into morally straight and sexually perverted or selfish.
When heterosexual people ask me for or against gay marriage, I interpret they use the word “gay” not with the meaning of “homosexual”, but with the meaning of someone who is perverted in their eyes, because ze deviated from their norm. However, since the norm for me is determined by notions of purity and not by notions of which sexuality the majority identifies with, and since I perceive all sexual people as perverted or harmful to the “pure” people – the real question you should be asking me is not if I’m for or against gay marriage, but whether or not I support marriage as a concept at all.
The way I define marriage is: confirmed by society transformation of two individuals that were previously on the “free sexual market” into two sexual properties of each other. Since all society accepted that the people from the married couple own each other sexually, from that point onward no one has the right to approach them sexually. And they have the obligation to remain faithful to each other or in other words to own each other properly.
For me the real question regarding marriage is the question about monogamy – are monogamous sexual relationships healthier than polygamous sexual relationships for individuals and society?
So, now that the gay-marriage question is transformed into the question of for or against monogamous sexual relationships, I can respond and say that at least to this point in my life I have personally perceived monogamy as less perverted/harmful than polygamy. It is still harmful, but to a lesser extent. After all, how can one own zir partner if ze is a property of someone else at the same time? For me two people owning each other is less harmful than one person owning few other people, who don’t own shit.
It’s true that heterosexuals can produce children and homosexual cannot, at least not naturally, but for me marriage doesn't mean having a family with kids, it means a lifelong monogamous sexual relationship officially accepted and respected by the rest of the society.
