Roger Scruton Quotes
The Arguments In Favour Of Offering Something To A Previously Disprivileged Group Are All Very Well And They Do Have Weight. But Much More Important Is The Effect Of This On The Institution Of Marriage. My View Is That Here We Need Some Serious Anthropology. You Have To Recognise That Rites Of Passage Are Not Personal Possessions, They Are Possessions Of The Whole Community, They Are The Ways In Which The Community Defines Itself And Defines Its Obligation Towards The Next Generation. So You Don't Make These Radical, Metaphysical Alterations To An Institution Such As Marriage Without There Being Long-term Consequences. And Nobody Seemed To Want To Talk About The Long-term Consequences.
