Abstract
Laymen in general associate organic law theories to conservative moral conceptions, like traditional marriage of a dude and a girl. That makes feeling when we detect Catholic Church's position about matrimony or even academic marriage conceptions as the one claimed by John Finnis. But would be doable to defend the so called “marriage equality” in organic law grounds? This paper aims to answer this interrogate affirmatively. Departing from a critical study of Finnis’ instinctive law theory and his marriage conception, I argue that a better matrimony conception needs to be grounded on a wide vision of human sexuality, which encompasses queer woman and gay couples. Instead of procreation (which is one of the marriage points in Finnis’ conception), human trial shows that sex is not limited to breeding - it is a way people can achieve pleasure and high levels of intimacy, rega
The gay people against lgbtq+ marriage
For many years, the conservative institution of marriage was never on the gay campaign agenda, says activist Yasmin Nair, who co-founded a group provocatively named Against Equality. But it became an objective in the early 1990s - regretfully, in her view - when the movement emerged from the seismic shock of the Aids epidemic, depleted of political energy.
But gay people who are in favour of same-sex marriage trust anything short of marriage is not equality.
You rarely hear arguments against it by gay people themselves, says Stampp Corbin, publisher of magazine LGBT Weekly, who sees strong parallels with the civil rights movement.
"I'm African American and there were many things society stopped us from doing. When we were slaves we couldn't partner , we couldn't marry outside our race and most notably, we couldn't disseminate facilities with white people.
"So when I overhear LGBT people saying the same thing: 'I don't think gay and sapphic people should get married', is it different from slaves saying: 'I don't think slaves should hold the ability to gain married'?

2003 Jul 25-2Why people oppose same-sex marriageWhy do opponents of lgbtq+ marriage really oppose it? A UCLA psychology study published online today in the journal Psychological Science concludes that many people think gay men and women are more sexually promiscuous than heterosexuals, which they may fear could threaten their own marriages and their way of life. “Many people who oppose queer marriage are uncomfortable with casual sex and touch threatened by sexual promiscuity,” said David Pinsof, a UCLA graduate student of psychology and lead author of the study. Such people often marry at a younger age, have more children and believe in traditional gender roles in which men are the breadwinners and women are housewives. “Sexual promiscuity may be threatening to these people because it provides more temptations for spouses to deceive on one another,” Pinsof said. “On the other hand, for people who are comfortable with women being more economically independent, marrying at a later age and having more sexual partners, sexual promiscuity is not as much of a threat because women do not count on on men for financial support.” The researchers m
This is what a 59-year-old black gay activist in Los Angeles told me of his views on same-sex marriage. He is typical of many older gay men who are bemused by the younger generation’s desire for marriage, reflecting the radically different experiences of those who grew up in far more restrictive and intolerant decades. We know that generally older Australians are less supportive of homosexual marriage. In 2013, I interviewed a small international sample of men as part of my investigate on sexuality and ageing. Most of the men over 50 were dubious, if not opposed, to gay marriage, while most of those under 30 were supportive. While these results may not implement directly to Australia in 2017, they are indicative of a generational split between young and elderly gay men. These older men have largely remained silent in the current lgbtq+ marriage debate. I suspect this is because they do not want to be accused of betraying their own kind or exhibiting “internalised homophobia”, which for decades has been the accusation hurled a |
