I said you are free to argue in court that you should be allowed to have sexual relations or marry a parent if you think you should be able to.
...A parent might well abuse their relationship with their child in other forms of contract. Marriage is a unique form of contract, though, and does not work quite the same as business arrangements. Again, if you disagree, you are free to take your argument to court.
Montrovant is lying about different contracts are different when it comes to the rules of how they bind. He's worried that now that Kennedy reaffirmed in written law (Obergefell 2015) that children are implicit parties to the marriage contract, that depriving them by using that contract, of either a mother or father for life will cause trouble when Obergefell is challenged soon. He knows via the Infancy Doctrine and New York vs Ferber (USSC 1982) that you can't exercise legal rights if your doing so hurts children either physically or psychologically.
And Monty, why should anyone argue if two consenting adults of any given sexual orientation who have made an "intimate choice" can be allowed to marry? That argument was done and settled last year. Obergefell said no state may discriminate against anyone wanting to marry based on their sexual orientation. It was impossible for him to mean JUST homosexual orientation because he cited the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment is all inclusive and cannot discriminate based on "ickyness" once a minority class (sexual orientation) escapes majority regulation.
Yet we find states still able to say "no" to incest marriage an polyamorous (polygamy) marriage. So it's still apparently decided by the states on sexual orientations of various types. Just not homosexual orientation. Which violates the 14th so...????? This and half a dozen other compelling fatal flaws in Obergefell...
