The Finnish Church rejects same-sex unions and parallel definitions of marriage.

A proposal had sought to add parallel definitions of marriage to the Church’s constitution.

However, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland will not adopt the proposed model that would have recognised both heterosexual and same-sex unions as parallel definitions of marriage.

A small but important clip - this is why everyone should vote, please. The facts matter. Your vote matters. You matter. We all matter. His wife loathes him yet they continue to disparage and disrespect Americans using a mock #PR #media #marriage arrangement, those whom we used to call allies [Biden's world undone in less than 2 months], and world leaders - bsky.app/profile/cwebbonline.c

A human side to #philosophy/philosophers:

“It still seems incredible to me that I managed to get both things, the ‘love of my life’ and a oneness with my self. And yet, I only got the one thing when I got the other. But finally I know what happiness is.”

Hannah Arendt, in a letter to her husband Heinrich Blücher (also a philosopher), 18 Sept 1937 (Within Four Walls, p. 41)

…Many #Christian #conservatives see declining birth & #marriage rates as a cultural crisis brought on by *forces* in politics & the media that they say belittle the *traditional* #family, encouraging #women to prioritize work over children. They are pushing for more committed marriages & large families, while some who identify strictly as “pronatalists”are interested in exploring a variety of methods, including new reproductive technologies, to reach their goal of more babies.[#Eugenics]

Continued thread

Much of the movement is built around *promoting* [dictating] a very specific idea of what constitutes a #family — one that includes #marriage between a #man & a #woman, & leaves out many #families that don’t conform to traditional #gender roles or family structures. In contrast to the intense emphasis on cost cutting so far during #Trump’s second term, this focus on families could result in spending more money to back a *new* set of priorities.

Something heart-warming. When I first heard about #Tinder in ~2013, I thought it would just be a complete casual meat market, 24/7, order some dong in orifice on your phone. But people had other ideas, hearts, minds. Now we're in the age of the Tinder #marriage. There are kids in school or daycare now whose parents met over Tinder and fell in #love!
