How in the world is Transgender Bathroom rights a States Right Issue?

#74

Quote:To say that marriage is not a right is to permit government to define it, restrict it, regulate it, and, as we have seen, to deny it. Marriage as an institution should exist beyond the span of government, though some legal recognition of the union is neccesary for civil matters. Restricting marriage to the religious connotation should be anathema to our society, and I think Eric agrees; we disagree on the rights issue, not the government one. The person has every right, but the State has assimilated it under its control.


If everything is a right then everything had to be protected. That's the purpose of enumerated rights to guanrtee their protection under law. Marriage and other religious ceremonies don't need protection under law they need to be left out of law. To argue that I have the right to marry someone anyone gay straight racial ect would require the state to legislate and define what types of marriage are protected and what kind are not. That is what I oppose, the state has no authority no should it have any authority to dictate religious actions so long as they do no violate the protected rights of other parties. I can't marry someone in a venue that violates the freedom of religion a specific church might practice for example.


But if my wife is cool with me have ten wives (which she definitely wouldn't be lol) then who is the state to say I must have only one wife?
