[Vision2020] Why I (don't) Support Gay Marriage

My point was that we have all heard the " I want it because I want it" argument over and over again and I understand it, such as it is. I was hoping to see the discussion expanded to why making such a change would be good for the part of the world that is not a subset of the 3% that is homosexual. In the past I have offered up a few of the reasons that I believe that society as a whole would not benefit from abandoning traditional marriage, I was hoping to hear those views addressed. For me to go back and forth with Miss Hendrickson concerning her personal desires is argument to no good outcome.

As to my use of the term "pal," it seems to me that some folks are looking hard for a reason to be offended and play the victim. This being the case, I'm glad I could be of assistance, I guess. I would think by now that most on this forum would realize that it is not my nature to offer up false apologies when I feel zero remorse. I did not offer up the term in an effort to offend and I have not "persisted" in using it once it's blatant cruelty and  mind boggling offensiveness had been pointed out. I seems to me that this tends to be the standard way discussions of this type go. Rather than respond to the meat of the matter, find a spot of minutia to rally around, fire up the martyr machinery, and ignore the larger issue.

  You decry the "personal" argument Mo offers for her wish to be able to marry her partner, but then insist that in offering "personal" arguments, she doesn't answer your question of why her being able to marry (her) partner is a benefit to me and/or society?"  Which seems like a question based on . . . your personal feelings about the matter, as I presume you wouldn't intend to represent all of society.

  And it seems to me that if you know, and likely knew, that "pal" was and would be offensive, you would either (A) not use it, out of respect, or, (B) apologize for having used it once she told you it was hurtful.  Really, is your argument so precious to you that you have to take refuge in persisting to use a term that she finds offensive?  If your argument requires the use of a word that is flip and demeaning, Webster aside, perhaps you might want to refine it -- you know, making it less personal -- or else re-examine why it is that benefit to you "and society" ought to supercede benefit to her.

  Unfortunately, my question was not answered in even the most oblique fashion. What I asked was "Why don't you explain to me all the myriad ways in which you being able to marry your partner is a benefit to me and/or society?" What you replied with was the standard song we have all become so familiar with. To paraphrase: "I want it because I perceive it as good for me." and, because I thinks it's "fair." We've heard this all before and I am not going to respond at that level because to do so is to make this into some sort of a personnel argument regarding your lifestyle (which I have no interest in) rather than a discussion of the merits of changing a policy that has worked, sometimes imperfectly I'll be the first to admit, for centuries.

  Next order of biz, I suppose, is me making some sort massively insincere apology for my choice of noun to refer to your "partner." Let's face it, we all know that I would not be sorry in the least so I won't even pretend for the sake of civil discourse.  I'm glad that you choose to believe that I'm a "smart man." You would not need to search very hard to find venomous and vociferous disagreement. Either way, I do know what the words I choose to use mean,

  from dictionary.com

  Pal  1. a very close, intimate friend.

  Partner  1. a person who shares or is associated with another in some action or endeavor.

  and now you do too. Take from this what you will.

  respectfully,

    Mo, thanks for a very important contribution to the debate surrounding same-sex marriage.  I appreciate your not only taking the time to answer Gary, but the reasonableness with which you answer his questions.  This, and many other reasons, are why I'm blessed by God to call you and your partner -- "pal" IS utterly offensive -- my dear friends.

    Subject: [Vision2020] Why I Support Gay Marriage

    This is my long overdue response to Gary's questions from the end of July.  As we all know life happens and sometimes things fall through the cracks, that is what happened to my response.  With Palouse Pride this Saturday and the Washington State Referendum 71 likely to be on the ballot in November, I figured it was time to give my point of view.  

    First I want to thank Gary for asking his questions.  I had honestly not done a whole lot of research into the effects of restricting marriage and found that I am now better equipped to handle questions when they come my way.  I am by no means an expert but I want to share what I have found and speak from my own experience.  

    The first thing I am going to address is the notion that "most states allow pretty much all accomodation to homosexual couples as they do hetro except the title."  Oh if this were even close to the truth I would be a much happier person.  Lets take Idaho as an example.  Same-sex couples in Idaho are pretty much considered roommates under the law.  There is no legal protection granted to them by the state.  A married couple in Idaho can file joint taxes, when a child is born both people in the couple are legally that child's parent even if sperm donation was used, they can make medical and financial decisions for the other person without drawing up legal paperwork...the list could go on and on.  A same sex couple enjoys none of these or any other rights of marriage in Idaho.  

    Yes we can go to a lawyer and have wills and powers of attorney drawn up, but that does not make things equal.  Say my partner and I where traveling out of state we are in an accident and one of us is unable to consent to medical care.  I pull out my power of attorney hoping that the hospital will accept it and grant me the power to make the decisions. If they wanted they could look right past me and call my partners family to make those decisions.  In my case we would probably be on the same page as to care, but that is not always the case.  If a straight married couple had the same thing occur the hospital would not ask them to produce their marriage license before allowing the other to make those decisions.  There are plenty of places across this country that still deny partners the right to visit each other in the hospital, simply on the basis that they are not a "family" member.  Tell me how this is right?  Tell me how this makes our country stronger, denying the right to see a loved one?  To me this is wrong on so many levels.  

    I know I may not be answering your questions directly but I am trying to cover a great deal of information.  You asked about the major tangible benefits for my partner and I.  First and the most present for my partner and I is medical benefits.  I am currently covered by her plan, she works for a company that has generously paid for our benefits.  She is back in school and will be leaving her job in the next couple of years.  She will be without health insurance because I cannot carry her on my insurance through the University.  The insurance at UI may not be the best around but it is better than nothing.  Along with health care if one of us were to get sick or injured and had to take time off, the other could not take family medical leave to care for the other person.  A married couple is covered under the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) which protects a workers job with unpaid time off to care for a sick family member.  We are not married so we are not covered. 

    Second major tangible benefit, parental rights of each parent.  I am unable to carry children, so when we start a family it will be my partner who carries the child.  When our children are born, the sperm donor will have more rights to my child than I will.  We will need to go through the process of adoption so that i can be the legal parent of the child.  So not only do we need to go through the expense of pregnancy, we will have the added expense of legalizing my rights with my child.  If my partner were to die before the process was over I could be denied custody of my child.  

    I really could go on and I intended this to be more empirical and less emotive, but alas it is something that is dear to my heart and would greatly improve the lives of millions of Americans.  If you want empirical data I will gladly share the volumes of data that I found.  But for now I will hold onto it...this email is getting long and my lunch break is almost over.  

    There is one final thing that I would like to say.  Unfortunately I did not save the email in which you wrote this, Gary, and I don't have time to look it up in the archives, but in subsequent emails you referred to my partner as my "pal."  I am not going to fly off the handle and call you all sorts of nasty names, but I will say this.  That one little word hurt me.  I don't think I am being overly sensitive to this either.  We have been together for over six and a half years, she is not my pal, she is my partner.  We share everything, good and bad, we have seen each other through some really hard times and we have celebrated with each other in the joyous times.  You are a smart man, you know the impact your words have on people.  I wanted to let you know that this time they cut a little too deep.  I may not agree with most of what you write on the vision, but I do respect you.  I ask that you do the same for me.  

    Ok, now it really is time to finish my lunch.

    -Mo

    Since I've done that one before Mo, why not just for fun try a different approach. Why don't you explain to me all the myriad ways in which you being able to marry your partner is a benefit to me and/or society? Explain how it will be good for children (mine or yours, assuming you have any), how it will strenghten families, and how it won't cause large problems with regard to an already tottering social security system. Lay out how it won't set the stage for polygamous and polyandrous unions with all the inherent problems that will bring. Perhaps, if nothing else, explain to me what the major tangible benefits of it would even be for you and your partner.

    All the things that you claim you long for can be achieved by other legal means. It is my understanding that most states allow pretty much all accomadation to homosexual couples as they do hetro except the title, why so adamant in your insistance for a change to the status quo?

      One question Gary.  I am hoping you can clarify this point for me...

      How would my desire to marry my partner adversely affect you? 

      Your marriage, I am making an assumption that you are married, has no effect on me, so why would mine have any bearing on you?  Why do you advocate for denying me and my partner a legally recognized marriage?  

      Not that I expect an answer but I thought I would put it out there.  I guess anybody who is opposed to same gender marriage could answer this question.  And so we don't head down the ridiculous path of marrying goats, I am defining same gender marriage as two consenting adults.

      Another inconsequential argument. No valid marriages are being rendered "null and void" and I'm not suggesting that any be made so. I think that my views are quite consistant. I'm in favor of choice when the choice doesn't adversely affect others who have no way of escaping my decision.

      What strikes me as strange is your notion that your personally concocted idea of freedoms should be celebrated and allowed to impact any and everyone with no regard for adverse impact.

        So you think that the state should not be forced to recognize marriage? If they were to say that conservatives with inconsistent views were not allowed to marry, and thus your marriage was null and void, that would be fine with you? Yipes! As I said, this is a strange kind of freedom!


        And I'm not putting words in your mouth. I'm just pointing out the implications of your own words.

          As I have said repeatedly, I believe that if homosexuals can find someone who is willing to pronounce them man and man, wife and wife, or man, wife, wife, or any permutation thereof then swell, I wish them the best. What I am not in favor of is in my or the state being forced to recognize it.

          With regard to the abortion issue though I've really got to admit that you've got me caught on the horns of a delimma. How could I not see the similarity between making a choice that has a 1 in 15 chance of potentially damaging the  health of the person doing the choosing and making a decision that has a 100% chance of killing an innocent party?

          In both of your examples the decision extends to others who will not be given a choice to participate. Bar patrons and employess do get to make an informed choice and as a result your comments seem a trifle lame.

                I would like to add the idea of this saying,

                "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story."

                Either way Ted, you brought up some very valid points that tend to be forgotten when people discuss tobacco/smoking regulation and legislation.  What scares me as a Health Teacher is when I hear my junior high and high school aged students talking about how safe, they think anyway, Hookah bars are.  When asked if they would ever smoke cigarettes, they claim that they won't.  Yet what these students don't realize is that they are actually smoking tobacco at the high school hookah parties.  What is even scarier is a lot of the parents think that hookah is a safe alternative as well.  

                The hookah bar closest to my house in Boise is constantly packed with young people all of the time.  Often times, other substances are being laced into the tobacco as well and these young people are unknowingly smoking illegal drugs along with their fruit and tobacco mixture.

                I predict in the not so distant future, Boise and possibly the State Legislature will enact legislation to regulate/control these hookah establishments.

                Here is a question to ponder.  By definition based on Idaho Code, what is a hookah bar categorized as?  A restaurant, a bar, a private club?  If it falls under the bar definition, then people under 21 should not be allowed in.  It seems as though hookah bars would fall into an undefined gray area of the Idaho Clean Indoor Air Act.  However, Moscow seems to have covered hookah bars in their recent ban of smoking, I could be wrong though.

                " 'Politics is the art of controlling your environment.' That is one of the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody who thinks that 'it doesn't matter who's President' has never been Drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the World -- or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property -- or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons -- or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted." - Hunter S. Thompson

                The "Off List" response referenced, from someone I regard as one of the most educated and honest Vision2020 participants, that I received to my post below on tobacco regulation, is in total what is stated in the subject heading of this post.  Wise words, no doubt, that I ignore at my own risk... 

                Notice there is limited or no discussion of some of the critical facts my post presented: that tobacco (nicotine) is a physically addictive drug, with underage tobacco addiction common, raising questions if whether adult "choice" is in effect regarding employees or consumers in tobacco related decisions; that tobacco is the leading cause of premature death (nuclear waste or energy or even nuclear weapons production is not even close as a cause of premature death); that other drugs doing less harm to society than tobacco are criminalized and prosecuted aggressively, involving civil and human rights violations, yet who among those opposing regulation of tobacco, will as aggressively advocate for these drugs to be managed by free choice and the marketplace, rather than a government "Big Brother?"  Some, perhaps... While there are others who should know better playing some on this list as fools, for the sake of debate, or political advantage, or popular image or whatever... Or they are as deluded as those they are debating with...

                My response to the "Off List" comment discussed here:

                Ummm... OK, I guess... However, being an idealist in belief that expressing the truth is morally mandated (where did I get that dangerous idea?  I''ll end up in serious trouble!  Oh, I forgot, I already am...), I may not comply.  I recently read a variation of this same expression in James Lovelock's "Revenge of Gaia:" "Don't confuse me with the facts, my minds made up."  Lovelock was referring to this mentality regarding the rejection of nuclear power by many in the environmental movement.

                    Tobacco (nicotine) is a physically addictive drug.  Once addicted, "choice" becomes a problematic concept.  And many people become addicted while underage, encouraged to continue their addiction in bars, where cigarettes are often shared between customers.  

                    The fact tobacco is physically addictive is absent from the comments of many opposing the smoking ordinance, as are the facts regarding the magnitude of the damage.  Comparisons to other harmful behaviors are drawn (fatty food, etc.), suggesting that a slippery slope of regulation will lead to government control over too many aspects of life, but many of these behaviors do not involve a drug addiction.  Of course alcohol has dramatic negative impacts.  But workers in bars are not forced to drink the drinks the customers order, as they breathe the smoke of the customers.  

                    I find it incredible that the health of workers exposed to an addictive drug when they breathe in the workplace is approached so callously.  They can work elsewhere, it's announced with smug authority, as if in this economy workers have the luxury of choosing whatever job suits their fancy, rather than an urgency to take whatever work they can find.  If it was cocaine or heroin or methamphetamine that workers were exposed to, the attitude might be different.  

                    Profits from exposing workers to addictive drugs in the workplace should be protected based on free market, free choice, adult responsibility?  If this is the logic, where are the protests against laws imposed on those selling cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine, et. al., to consenting adults, which can result in long prison sentences?  Let the free market decide!  Why stand in the way of profits and the free choice of adults?  

                    If those opposing the smoking ordinance were consistent in their outrage against limits on the free market, their ideology might have more intellectual credibility.  Instead, the libertarianism proposed is inconsistent and conformist.  Or perhaps those opposed to the smoking ordinance will now protest that bars do not allow legal cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine use?  Think of the profits to be made!  And remember, tobacco prematurely kills more people than those three drugs combined...

                    If attempts were made to criminalize tobacco like cannabis is, resulting in prison sentences, home invasions, for sale or use, I would oppose this vehemently.  But an ordinance regulating smoking in bars does not stop any adult from legally using tobacco products in settings where they do not expose workers.

                    If worker freedom of choice was a valid argument to justify the exposure of workers to tobacco smoke in bars, than OSHA could be mostly eliminated.  After all, if workers exposed to hazards monitored or banned by OSHA don't want to work with those risks, they can work elsewhere, as long as signs posted in the workplace inform them of the risks.  A "Big Brother" government bureaucracy gone.

                    http://www.cdc.gov/NCCDPHP/publications/aag/osh.htm
                    The Burden of Tobacco Use
                    Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Each year, an estimated 443,000 people die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and another 8.6 million have a serious illness caused by smoking. For every person who dies from smoking, 20 more people suffer from at least one serious tobacco-related illness. Despite these risks, approximately 43.4 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes. Smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes also have deadly consequences, including lung, larynx, esophageal, and oral cancers.
                    The harmful effects of smoking do not end with the smoker. More than 126 million nonsmoking Americans, including children and adults, are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Even brief exposure can be dangerous because nonsmokers inhale many of the same carcinogens and toxins in cigarette smoke as smokers. Secondhand smoke exposure causes serious disease and death, including heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmoking adults and sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more frequent and severe asthma attacks in children. Each year, primarily because of exposure to secondhand smoke, an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer, more than 46,000 (range: 22,700–69,600) die of heart disease, and about 150,000–300,000 children younger than 18 months have lower respiratory tract infections.
                    Coupled with this enormous health toll is the significant economic burden of tobacco use—more than $96 billion per year in medical expenditures and another $97 billion per year resulting from lost productivity.



                    [A text description of this graph is also available.]

                    The Tobacco Use Epidemic Can Be Stopped
                    A 2007 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report presented a blueprint for action to “reduce smoking so substantially that it is no longer a public health problem for our nation.” The two-pronged strategy for achieving this goal includes not only strengthening and fully implementing currently proven tobacco control measures, but also changing the regulatory landscape to permit policy innovations. Foremost among the IOM recommendations is that each state should fund a comprehensive tobacco control program at the level recommended by CDC in Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs–2007.
                    Evidence-based, statewide tobacco control programs that are comprehensive, sustained, and accountable have been shown to reduce smoking rates, tobacco-related deaths, and diseases caused by smoking. A comprehensive program is a coordinated effort to establish smoke-free policies and social norms, to promote and assist tobacco users to quit, and to prevent initiation of tobacco use. This approach combines educational, clinical, regulatory, economic, and social strategies.
                    Research has documented the effectiveness of laws and policies to protect the public from secondhand smoke exposure, promote cessation, and prevent initiation when they are applied in a comprehensive way. For example, states can increase the unit price of tobacco products; implement smoking bans through policies, regulations, and laws; provide insurance coverage of tobacco use treatment; and limit minors’ access to tobacco products.
                    If the nation is to achieve the objectives outlined in Healthy People 2010, comprehensive, evidence-based approaches for preventing smoking initiation and increasing cessation need to be fully implemented.

                    CDC's Response
                    CDC is the lead federal agency for tobacco control. CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) provides national leadership for a comprehensive, broad-based approach to reducing tobacco use. A variety of government agencies, professional and voluntary organizations, and academic institutions have joined together to advance this approach, which involves the following activities:

                      a.. Preventing young people from starting to smoke.
                        
                      b.. Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke.
                        
                      c.. Promoting quitting among young people and adults.
                        
                      d.. Identifying and eliminating tobacco-related health disparities. 
                    Essential elements of this approach include state-based, community-based, and health system-based interventions; cessation services; counter marketing; policy development and implementation; surveillance; and evaluation. These activities target groups who are at highest risk for tobacco-related health problems.
