This is actually the best thing I've seen so far.

Love who you want to love sexually, minus children and animals.

As a heterosexual, I could care less. Marry who you want (besides kids or animals, eugh).

I've always considered getting married someday to pass on my genes, continue a bloodline somewhat. You can still enjoy a life with a loving wife or raising kids (considering it goes well).

If I ever do wanna try, and be known for doing "rad things," I'd like to have children or grandchildren to continue the legacy.

Ah, cool, just making sure! Sarcasm doesn't work with text. Yeah, arranged marriages are trash.

I am against LGBT+ transgender, bisexual etc. I don't believe that it is right, but I treat them like I treat everybody, as they are still people- just with different views than me.

A wide question, so I will have a wide answer.

Personally, I have no problem with any two or more consenting adults deciding to marry. Having gotten out of a not so great one, I question their sanity but not their right.

In law, I can only speak to what should be the case in the US nuder our Constitution. Obergefell v. Hodges was decided wrongly, in my opinion. A state should have the right to set whatever limitations on who they will grant a marriage license to. However, under the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution, they should be obligated to accept as valid a marriage license issued by any other state. So, the right result for the wrong reason.

Masterpiece Bakery was also decided wrongly; it should have affirmed the right for an artist to control his client base and not been decided on the purely technical grounds of bad comments by the board. Again, the right result for the wrong reasons.
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

Does marriage give any incentives or rights or anything? I assume, since there's a legal aspect and you can get marriage licenses, that there's a reason beyond the romantic that people get married. Either way, I wouldn't see LGBT+ left out of marriage, that'd be unfair.
So, this is where I write a signature. I'll replace this with something else later.
