00:00The moment I say that the institution of marriage is founded on sexuality, many people start squirming.

00:06Because they want to claim that, you know, husband and wife, they share a bond of emotion,

00:10and together they face challenges, and together they live through life.

00:13All the romantic, filmy, fluffy stuff.

00:15They want to claim all this, you know, all this that they have seen in movies.

00:18Husband and wife living together, they grow old together, and then, you know, they die together or whatever.

00:24So they think that that's the core of the institution of marriage.

00:27They want to deny the obvious thing.

00:28If togetherness is the core of marriage, why don't you marry someone of the same gender?

00:32Why can't you have togetherness with a man, as a man?

00:35Why this togetherness comes only with someone who has the opposite gender,

00:40and the kind of genitals that suit yours, to put it very very bluntly.

00:44I'm not restraining anybody from getting married.

00:47Please do get married, and please do not curse me.

00:49Do not troll me, or troll me if you would.

00:51That's your choice.

00:52Just as you would get married by your choice, you can do whatever you love to.

00:56But please, whatever you do, do in some consciousness.
