To what extent, though. If a 35 year old male and a 12 year old female express willingness to engage in marriage and sex, would that still be OK? Given all we know about the psychological development of human beings, it can't truly be said that the 12 year old is capable of critical thinking skills enabling that kind of union, responsibility, and commitment.

On a different note, I've noticed a lot of rhetoric emerging on places like Facebook where Christian opponents are trying to deflect the issue by somehow attempting to turn themselves into victims. Things like "straight pride" and messages calling out pro-activists for being bullies and oppressors, criticizing them for having an alternative opinion. This is a terrible stance to make, especially now.

It's so frustrating constantly attempting to hold my tongue and not respond to such ridiculous arguments. Anyone else noticing this kind of rubbish?
