Then explain it to me. Why do you want polygamists to marry?
Specifically.
I don't, but can't find a legal argument against it. The number of participants in the contract appears arbitrary at best.
Can you name another contract that is illegal by having more than two participants in it? If you can't than you must explain the COMPELLING STATE INTEREST in denying additional participants in these.
But you really don't want to discuss this, you want legal reality to just magically disappear.
If you can't find a compelling argument against polygamous marriage- well then why are you opposed to it- or are you?
Oh, I have great concerns for heterosexual polygamy. That can be nasty, yet those would not seem applicable to same sex plural marriage.
Since all must be treated equally, how do you legally justify excluding straight plural marriage, which can be harmful, ang gay plural marriage, which has not demonstrated the same harm?
You do understand how equal protection and due process works, right?
Or did you sleep through civics class?
If you can't find a compelling argument against polygamous marriage- well then why are you opposed to it- or are you?
I've listed the arguments against plural straight marriage a few times, as have others on both sides of the issue. If you are too stupid, have dementia, or are simply too lazy to note them when posted, that's your problem.
Those problems are related soley to straight plural and don't reslly seem applicable unless you actually think same sex couples can procreate.![]()
Oh I am quite bright enough- I have watched you dance around the issue over and over again- without ever once being willing to actually take an actual position.
You are 'against polygamy' but cannot articulate a reason why you are 'against' polygamy if the women were all sterile.
You are 'against sibling marriage- but cannot articulate a reason why you would be against a sterile brother marrying his sister.
Here is your chance-
- articulate specifically why you oppose polygamous marriage- if its based upon procreation then let us know whether you are okay with polygamous marriage if the members are unable to reproduce together.
- articulate specifically why you oppose sibling marriage- if its based upon procreation then let us know whether you are okay with sibling marriage as long as one of the siblings is sterile.
