Is Gay Marriage Already Void? &/Or Is Polygamy Already Legal?

The OP's points& the 14th Amendment's broad & blind umbrella, can we deny polygamy marriage?

  • Yes, even though I approve of gay sex behaviors, I don't approve of polyamorous ones.

  • No, one minority sex behavior gets the same protection as all under the 14th's intent.

  • Not sure. There does seem to be a conflict in law here.

  • I think it's OK that the courts can pick and choose which kink can marry and which can't.


Results are only viewable after voting.
No marriage is predicated on children or the ability to have them. Not one state requires children for a marriage to be valid. With the right NOT to have children in a marriage well established by legal precedent.

Obliterating your 'intent' argument. You're imagining mythic 'requirements' of same sex couples that don't exist for anyone else. Such requirements don't exist.

In fact, no state requires anything but consent of the parties for a legal marriage.

They do exclude a couple thing for purely arbitrary reasons. The number of individuals and closely related family members. So in effect, anyone can Marry anyone, or any group of people, because basing law on arbitrary reasons is not constitutionally sound.


Are they 'purely arbitrary' reasons?


And no- no not in effect- it is still illegal for you to marry your mother- or your 8 sister wives.

But if you think you do have the right- and that the reasons you can't marry your mother are 'purely arbitrary'- then take your case to court.

Stand up proudly in court with your mother and announce your Constitutional right to marry your mother.

Let us know how it turns out.

Yet you supply no reason why they aren’t arbitrary?

Well, shit for brains, that was your argument in support of gay marriage..

Well shit for brains that was never my argument for marriage equality for gay couples.

If you think that laws against you marrying your mother are 'arbitrary'- then you logically are against such laws.

Are you against laws prohibiting you from marrying your mother- or do you support having laws in place that forbid you to marry your mother?

Since you think such laws are 'arbitrary'?

I love watching you squirm. You don’t have any reasoned argument against because YOU MADE THE ARGUMENT THAT WORKS IN ITS FAVOR!

LOL- I haven't tried to make any argument for or against.

Not my issue- but if you sincerely believe you have the legal right to marry your mother- I support your right to go to court to declare your intentions.

Its always fun to watch you dance away from the questions

Well, those things aren't arbitrary. Incest is illegal because it will produce genetically defective children, well beyond the "Ick" factor. Polygamy is illegal because more often than not, the women didn't really have much of a say in it. (It was only fucked up Mormon Cultists who were doing it.)

The arguments against gay marriage were "I think it's icky" and "My Magic Friend in the Sky Says It's Bad"... neither of which were ever good enough reasons on their own.

Poor Joe still thinking that marriage law created a duty of, or responsibility for the partners to engage in sexual activities.

Read the laws Joe. In effect the laws state that these unions are for whatever the members want them to be.

Physical incest is still illegal, within or outside this institution. So excluding family members is indeed arbitrary.

One family member may have a pension that benefits their spouse after his/her death AND NO OTHER. Why shouldn’t this person be able to sign a simple document so that pension can pass to a Son, Daughter, Niece, Nephew?

What in hell I’d the States interest in denying this right to family members?
 
Hey, if backassward Mormons want to take 14 wives i could care less as long as they don't diddle their underage daughters (which many of them have).

Should probably be a state issue and Utah won't change the laws they have on the books right now - the church doesn't need another black eye.

Talk about backwards.

Marriage changed. It no longer is about sex, love or even cohabitation. It’s simply a financial tool for profit.

Get with the times, this ain’t the marriage your parents knew.

I think you are blundering into the truth here, buddy.

Polygamy is illegal because Bigamy is illegal. Incestuous marriage is illegal because incest is illegal.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO.... when Lawrence v. Texas threw out all the dumb-ass sodomy laws, homosexuality was effectively decriminalized.

There was no longer any legal basis to make gay marriage illegal.

Hey I don't disagree with that. The only reason I got married for a second time was my 1 year old daughter. Wanted to give her a traditional family for whatever reason.

My parents were together for 25 years up until my Mom's death at 45. They'd have been together forever - times were different and people didn't question norms. I'd say 90% of the kids I knew's parents were together until one of them died.

But I can't think of even one couple I knew who got married shortly after high school or college who are still together.

Marriage will at some point be practiced only by the religious - it's becoming that way very rapidly. I know three young couples in my neighborhood who have been together for 5-10 years and haven't gone there. They get along great with very little bickering such as I remembered from my two experiences.

Read your last sentence. The USSC backed the “arbitrary” concept. No state law makes sexual contact mandatory for valid license. There is no non arbitrary legal reason for states to deny multiple licenses, licenses issued to multiple individuals or family license.

No sex, no incest.

I know it’s dufficult for you to come to grips with the idea that “ these are your arguments”, but you created them, not me.

Deal with it.

Stereotype much? Mormon men in Utah are not the only men who want more than one woman under their roof/in their bed regularly & legally.

If they all are consenting adults then this sex kink also has all the same "rights" the others do.

Amazing really.

The battle cry was stay out of our bedrooms, now it’s, we want in your bedrooms.

So certain sex kinks should be illegal according to this ^^ hypocrite...."because the majority rejects them".

The reason private acts of sodomy don't get an automatic stamp for marriage is that that brand new contract banishes children involved from a mother or father for life.

Next you will say incest & polygamy are illegal because of how they affect children :popcorn:

There aren't a lot of states where polygamy would be accepted. You're right, there probably are a lot of men who may want more than one wife, but do you know any women who would put up with such an arrangement? I don't - It's kind of a Utah/Mormon thing from the wayback machine.

And why always bring up 1 man with multiple wives? It easily could be 1 woman with multiple men. Just multiple men or just multiple women or 3 men and 3 women. To deny any would be on a completely arbitrary reason. Right?

ACCEPTED? Geez, talk about arbitrary!

It’s a financial arrangement.

Why do you now argue for tradition when before you argued against it?

No sex, no incest.

I think I'm wondering if you are some kind of high-functioning retard, that you think that someone is going to marry his brother and not have sex.

Actually, the Mormons don't do threesomes...

If there is only one group of consenting polyamorists wanting marriage then it's already legal. 21st Century kink. Nothing way back..as if that mattered?

There aren't a lot of states that want gay marriage either. In fact it's still illegal in CA's Constitution because in the most liberal left looney state in the Union it was still voted down twice in the way they make laws... by popular vote directly from the governed.

Well, no, because the laws say they are illegal acts, dummy.

It's not illegal to have gay sex anymore.

The reason private acts of sodomy don't get an automatic stamp for marriage is that that brand new contract banishes children involved from a mother or father for life.

well, except gay marriage is legal now, so it does... And they can adopt if they want to, which is awesome!

Next you will say incest & polygamy are illegal because of how they affect children

Well, yeah, incest does have an effect- FUCKING INBRED GENETICS!

In short, they made a solid case as to why that was a bad idea beyond "I think it's icky"
