HERE'S A GREAT ESSAY THAT EXPLAINS WHY MANY LIBERTARIANS STILL OPPOSE SO-CALLED "GAY MARRIAGE"

EXCERPT:

The Family: The Last Line of Defense Against State Power 

It is an open secret that the State and the Family do not get along. As Leviathan grows, that which claims a greater hold on the minds, hearts, souls, and loyalties of its citizen-subjects becomes increasingly perceived as a threat to be neutralized or destroyed. 

After the sovereignty of the states and the prerogatives of local government have been bled dry, the family remains as the last line of defense between the naked exercise of state power over the will of the individual. It is a telling fact that in the widely varied dystopian fiction of the past century, a recurring element is the destruction of our understanding of the family. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, it has been replaced entirely by casual sex and cloning vats. In Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, it clings to existence as a stud system more suitable to a barnyard than a free society. Perhaps most chillingly of all, in George Orwell’s 1984, the family retains the outward trappings of the institution we call by that name, but internally it has been perverted into the cruelest instrument of state surveillance ever devised. 

These writers, and the dictators of totalitarian regimes the world over, understand that the Family is the greatest threat to the unchecked might of the State, for it is within the sanctity of the home that loyalties stronger than any flag can command are fostered. Minds, both young and old, are at liberty to develop free of the suffocating hand of political correctness and party line. 

Traditional Marriage: The Secret of Familial Strength  

Presently, our society is facing an unprecedented, albeit long in the works, threat to the strength and integrity of the family. Many libertarians have been sadly duped into fighting on the wrong side of the battle. As previously stated, there are many ways in which Man organizes himself in a free society, many grouping and associations into which he may enter. What defines his family, though, rests on our traditional understanding of marriage: one man and one woman coming together in a lifelong commitment out of which children may naturally arise. Now granted, for decades Western society has been doing a horrible job at living up to this ideal, but it is something in our collective psyche for which we continue to strive. Despite the tragic mundanity of divorce, we still do not refer to the aftermath as a “family,” but rather as a broken family or a broken home. We recognize that the ideal has been ruptured, and while we may not live up to it, we at least continue to respect it. 

This could all change within the next generation. As an alternative to the traditional conception of marriage, two proposals have arisen. In the first, it has been proposed that marriage be altered in our legal code from one man and one woman to any two consenting adults. In the second — one favored by many libertarians — it has been proposed that our legal recognition of marriage be done away with entirely. Both proposals constitute folly and a threat to liberty.

THE POSTMODERN LEFT WANTS TO ESTABLISH AN ALL-POWERFUL NANNYSTATE THAT'S SEXUALLY INDULGENT.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT THEY NEED TO DEMOLISH ALL THE NON-STATE INSTITUTIONS IN THEIR WAY.

THE FAMILY IS THE MOST BASIC ONE.

THE POSTMODERNISTS FIGHT MARRIAGE AT THE START OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION/SEXUAL REVOLUTION -AN DIVORCE RATES AND SINGLE-PARENTHOOD HAS EXPLODED.

NOW THEY ARE ATTACKING FAMILY FROM THE OPPOSITE FLANK.

IF THE FAMILY DISAPPEARS, THEN FUTURE CHILDREN SHALL ALL BE WARDS OF THE STATE.

AND SLAVES.
