re: "Top of the class" (BP, December 22, 2021)
Dear editor,
Save her excessive gentleness extended to morally antiquated reasoning that would defend slavery on the grounds that it was a traditional part of society for many generations, Melalin Mahavongtrakul's comments in "Top of the class" are all well said.
And from that officially stated reasoning for denying same-sex couples an equal right to marriage, it would seem to follow with logical rigour that in order to prove both ability and a serious commitment to the stipulated procreation requirement, mixed-sex couples wishing to do so should first be required to have had at least one child before being allowed to legally register their marriage. No?
