On Natural Law and Gay Marriage Legislation.

It is only fair that people are allowed to live their lives to the full. It is fair that people are not insulted in any way by others, because of who they are. It is also imperative that we all understand that in an inclusive society fellow humans are treated equally, in being allowed to be themselves. This is why I cannot but disagree with what some are saying about gay marriage legislation. I cannot but passionately disagree with those who argue that it is unnatural that a man marries a man and a woman a woman. These people speak about common good, reason and natural law, but are far from compassionate. Moreover they fail to understand that common good and natural law just do not tally together. What is common and good is relative to who you happen to be in society, and what is rational is determined by ones own personal outlook of the world around him or her, which is a far cry from reflecting what is really and truly truth.

We create sentences as points of view, as to make sense of situations we come across in the world around us, and no point view reflects the world as it is or was. Those who say it does are just playing at making their point of view dominant and oppressing those of others. A language that is free from truisms equips us with the ability to create language in laws in parliament that encourage greater freedoms for individuals whose way of life has been suppressed by what was a confessional state. A well done to Simon Busuttil for considering justice for gay men and women, notwithstanding the fact that he has been undermined by those who are supposed to honour a pledge made by the P.N. opposition before the general election. A well done to Simon Busuttil for really and truly considering dignity as important, unlike those who use the word freely as to make their point of view unquestionable.
