More Republican duct tape fail!!!!

"If it's alright to have same-sex marriages, why not define a marriage -- because at the end of the day a lot of this ends up being taxes and who can visit who in the hospital and there's other repercussions and things that come with this -- so a person may want to define themselves as being married to one of their children so that they could then in fact pass on certain things to that child financially and otherwise?

WOW!! If you're male, and your kid is female, wouldn't this be already happening?

Gays adopt more, and while not many may want to marry their real own children, this may not be the case with adopted children....:confused:

WRONG!

Married couples are adopting the most out of all demographics. This equates to about 71% of adoptions were done by married couples in this year. Most couples looked to adopt a newborn either to expand their family, to provide home, or infertility.

Bevin is an idiot of the worst kind.
 
If the parent and child are "consenting adults in love", what would we point to in order to deny them after LGBT marriage? That it's "icky"?

No, I mean really, what would we select legally as a disqualifier? Harvey Milk was having sex with a minor teen that he was officiating as a father/guardian to so? He's already set the standard along with yes, Woody Allen...
 
Sensationalist republican nonsense. It's pretty much par for the course for them these days.

Setting a legal precedent isn't "nonsense". If you understand how law works, there would be no basis for denying a parent and their adult child as consenting adults who want to marry.

Like I said, would you think it was "icky"? Moreso than two men or two women "marrying"? Why?

^ Demonstrates that you have no idea how law works
 
If you redefine marriage for same sex relationships, what moral reasoning do you have for not redefining it again?

Answer: Legal precedence.

Children do not have legal standing to sign off on marriage. Animals do not have legal standing to sign off on marriage. Polygamists? Good luck working through all the rights attributed to the different mothers, fathers, and children. Incest? That involves genetic malformities and dual familial relationships. I have no idea what the law would decide about that.

The "slippery slope" is a poorly made up and sensationalist cop-out for this argument.

How many times were you dropped on your head?
 
How about adults?

What about adults?

Obliviously purposefully missing the point. If as with gays the standard is 2 consenting ADULTS. What stops an adult child from marrying a parent? Or an adult sibling marrying another adult sibling?

And don't claim birth defects as we allow people with any known transferable defect to marry even people with the same known transferable defect.
