I've been a tad harsh on the French in these pages over the years.  But they seem to be showing some backbone in resisting Islamization and such destructive items on the leftist agenda as same-sex marriage.  More than the PC-whipped<\/a> Germans to be sure.  In any case here<\/a> is the story:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

After the passage of same-sex marriage legislation in France, one mayor is refusing to comply<\/a>. Jean-Michel Colo of Arcangues rejected an application for marriage from a gay couple in his village. Guy Martineau-Espel and Jean-Michel Martin tried to compromise with the major, taking vows outside the traditional marriage hall. Nevertheless, the Arcangues mayor still refused. \u201cWhen people close the door at home, they do what they want. For me, marriage is for a woman and man to have children. I am not discriminating as a same-sex couple is sterile. It\u2019s a parody of equality, it\u2019s a big lie,\u201d he reasoned<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another way to respond to the same-sexers is to concede discrimination but then point out the obvious: not all types of discrimination are bad.  The following is a non sequitur<\/em>: 'Opposition to X is discriminatory' ergo 'Opposition to X is morally unacceptable.'  We don't allow the under 16 to drive or the under 18 to vote.  That is discriminatory.  But for a good reason.  There are under 16s and under 18s qualified for the respective activities, but most aren't.  The law can't cater to individual cases.   Further examples can be multiplied ad libitum<\/em>.  We all discriminate all the time and with perfect justification.  Not all discrimination is illegimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

I lay out part of my case against same-sex 'marriage' in detail in the entries cited below.<\/span><\/p>\n

'Same-sex' can be added to our list of alienans<\/em> adjectives when it is used to modify 'marriage.'  Same-sex marriage is no more marraige than a decoy duck is a duck, faux<\/em> marble is marble, or derivative intentionality is intentionality.<\/span><\/p>\n
