Same-sex marriage laws are BS

Not in the sense that they shouldn't exist (it's up to each individual's personal opinions and convictions whether they should or not), but the motivations for having pushed them into legislation.

Take the United States, for example. Currently it's estimated that from long-term heterosexual couples over 60% are married. This is significantly lower than it was in the past (I believe you only need to go back in time by 20 to 30 years and the proportion was over 80%), but it's still quite high.

For several decades the leftist activists really pushed for the same "right" to be bestowed on homosexuals, ie. that same-sex marriage would be legalized. Clearly same-sex couples were eager to get all the same legal benefits from marriage as heterosexual couples.

Thus, when same-sex marriage was finally legalized, there was a rush of same-sex couples getting married, to finally get the benefits of this legal contract...

Or was there?

Can you guess how many long-term same-sex couples are married in the United States?

Less than 10%.

Quite clearly they aren't all that interested in that legal contract and those legal rights after all. They aren't exactly flocking to get married.

It's quite clear that all that talk about same-sex couples wanting to have the same legal rights as heterosexual couples was by far and large complete BS. They didn't really want to get married, they just wanted the right. Once they got the right, they lost interest in it.

Fundamentally, I believe that pushing so strongly for same-sex marriage to be legalized, at some level, was one of the earliest moves by the far left to gain power and control over society, and to destroy, distort and bastardize everything that's traditional and conservative. They weren't all that interested in getting actually married, they just wanted to change and bastardize the centuries-old tradition and culture. To change it and to erode it. To gain power by changing legislation.

(Many of the activists might not have explicitly thought about it like that, but the underlying intent is quite clear. It's not about same-sex couples actually getting married. It's about changing and thus eroding traditionalism and long-held pillars of society.)
