Climate change and same-sex marriage are strikingly
similar – both have become politicized and the essence of their
importance mired in rhetoric.
The opponents of both rejoice for as we debate, nothing
happens.
Well, that is not quite right for in the case of climate
change something is happening, with the situation is worsening by the moment
with the damage to Earth’s atmosphere steadily becoming increasingly difficult,
if not impossible to repair.
And in the case of same-sex marriage, while we quibble over
personal ideologies, peoples’ lives evaporate, leaving them with a sense of
pointlessness and destroying the personal energy they could bring to their
respective communities.
The science illustrating climate change is beyond debate and
so irrefutable and while same-sex marriage is not a matter science as it is
purely social, but it needs to be considered with scientific rigour and as such
is effectively harmless and yet, in a social sense, hugely beneficial to
society.
Just as climate change needs to the released from its
rhetorical gaol, same-sex marriage should be afforded the same freedom.
