Admit it you just want to pass laws making Christian Fundiementalism law. I have lost all respect I had for you. (although that implys I had some in the first place)

What is so wrong about a man who loves his sound system getting married to it, when it can't suffer if the marriage is bad but would make the man very happy? We let people do things to inanimate objects like cut them up, burn them, crush them, throw them in a fire, make contracts of TOTAL OWNERSHIP on them. Why are you opposed to this man treating his sound system like a partner?

Your arguments are getting more and more ridiculous.

They very well can't!

Because that would open the door to all sorts of other non-procreative based relationships.

Statistics show that unmarried couples are more likely to have children than married couples. If you really wanted procreation, you'd abolish marriage.

Surrogates don't need to have sex with a male in order to have the baby, they just need the sperm. So no, not all gays are adulterous when they use a surrogate mother to produce a baby. I'd also like to point out that "a man & his filing cabinet" =/= "two men" so stop judging gays as if they were the same as bestiality and other forms of sexuality.

See where we're going with this?


So until the SCOTUS rules or an amendment to the constitution is made, it is constitutional, that's just what you said. By the way, prohibition was by amendment, not precedent.

It's a theoretical imperfection, much like married couples where one partner becomes mentally unsound, therefore unable to consent or seek a divorce. Would you swoop in and annul their marriage?

Because there is no point in marrying your sound system. You receive no greater benefit from the sound system if you're married it than if you weren't. Btw, your argument is stupid.

Until the amendment was struck down, it was legal to prohibit it, yes?

two gay men =/= guy & sound system. Stop judging gays as though they are the same as bestiality and other forms of sexuality. Judge each one based on their own merit. I feel as though I'm repeating myself over and over again and you're not listening.

Sure there is. He married the sound system. Now, he can bequeath stuff to it, leaving out his rotten kids. Anything he says to it cannot be used against him in court. Tax benefits from listing it as a dependent. TONS of benefits.

DId you read anything that I just said? We ban things that are obviously unable to reproduce to make fertile offspring, like men and stereos, men and men, men and dogs, and men and horses. There is no way to be 100% infertile, even if there's one gamete still hanging around and the odds are ridiculously low that your seed will survive to an egg. Even if you had no lower body, you could still take your DNA, the mother's egg and make a baby. Can't do that with two males or two females.

Legally (I use that term loosly as I am not qualified), I believe you have grounds for annulment if one side of the party knowing entered into marriage under such false pretenses.

Even in the case of on person being crazy, I believe the system will appoint a person for their interests.

Our lurking lawyers can probably answer that one.
