No one will marry an animal, and so what if they do, I say? They're too dumb too know the difference anyways, and it's up to us to let people live as they'd like to - you know, it goes back to the pursuit of happiness that we all seek in our lives. I say we should welcome them with arms wide open, at least - I know I would, and I'd do the same for those who would like to marry their siblings too. Hey - after all - it's better than wanting to marry just for the sake of getting married, I say. :ugeek:

Animals cannot give consent to marriage, and therefore can and should not be married.

A dog or whatever can't even understand the concept of marriage nor can they consent to it. It's pointless to give an okay to marrying an animal, some free thereby to someone who wants to marry an animal, that could be something that should be done. Marrying some family member, meh, who cares, there's little point in stopping it. A family member can be just as useful as anyone else, so why not allow it.

I am in favor of same-sex marriage and LGBT rights but that is a single issue which will no longer exist when equality is fully implemented. Liberalism on the other hand is a dangerous ideology (just as dangerous as conservatism). It moves like a glacier down a slippery slope. There are already some movements (which sadly seem to be growing) in liberalism that support things such as legalizing bestiality, pedophilic relationships, and other sick things. As long as the liberals maintain their grip on the LGBT community there will be no stopping this slippery slope. The only way to stop it is to sever the liberal movement's grip on LGBT rights by getting more and more non-liberals to prominently support LGBT rights. However this is easier said than done.

Opposing liberalism on the grounds that it's liberalism is JUST as ideological.

What you should do is, support liberalism in as far as it supports you. When it tries to go further, work against it. This blind knee-jerk reactionism against "liberal" is moronic. And if you're only supporting LGBT so that you can "break dem ebil liberals grip on LGBT" then you're an idiot.


Me an idiot? You completely misread my post. I don't subscribe to any particular ideology and I am not reactionary. Also I have always supported LGBT rights because I feel that they do deserve equal rights.

As far as I can tell, Liberals are pushing for more and more civil liberties (which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing) and eventually, this is going to come up.

What should be allowed? I'm personally undecided on the issue of what a marriage really means, but what do you guys think about sibling, inter special or other kinds of bizarre civil unions?


I must say...you sound like a very interesting person...judging by your sig, you sound like someone I could actually agree with (politically). Well....anyway....I personally disagree with Homosexual Marriage. I believe that the institution of marriage was, and should still be, for one man and one woman. Although I respect Homosexuals, I simply disagree with their lifestyle and I think it is a choice, not something that you are born with or destined to be. And yes, obviously if we allow homosexual marriage, we are bound to turn to other practices, such as polygamy, bestiality, or incest. These are my beliefs.

If between humans, then i would support marriages of any kind. As long as the parties involved are willing, there is nothing wrong in that.

As a gay person, I can tell you factually and objectively that I was rather surprised to find out I was into boys.

As for the slippery slope argument, how come fundamentalist Mormons and fundamentalist Muslims (both homophobic groups) are the most well-known modern supporters of polygamy? How come zoophilia is legal in Montana, Texas and Alabama but not in Washington, New York or California? How come first-cousin marriage is legal in Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida but not Washington or Oregon?

Source for liberals wanting to legalize "beastiality and pedophilic relationships"? Sounds like fear-mongering bullshit, with no substance behind it.

If you really did respect LGBT people, you'd support our efforts at obtaining equality, instead of trying to keep us as second-class citizens.

Also, there is no such thing as "the gay lifestyle", any more than there is such a thing as "the straight lifestyle", and its been SCIENTIFICALLY proven that its not a choice.

There is nothing inherently wrong with polygamy, so long as all involved are capable of giving informed consent (which is the very thing that means we will never legalize beastiality, as animals cannot give informed consent).

I'm sorry if this comes as a shock, but your beliefs are shitty, incorrect, and out of touch with known reality.

1) Doubt it.
2) When exactly was zoophilia legalized in Texas?
3) What Muslims believe is what they believe. Why they believe it, I do not know.
4) For mormons, see #3
5) I am a Christian Traditionalist Conservative, and I am strictly against polygamy.
6) To be fair, incest laws usually only apply to the immedite family, making cousins excempt from this. (I don't know if this is the law everywhere; I really have no opinion on cousin marriage. Let the Supreme Court rule on that.)

I'd love to know how you know Meryuma's personal feelings more than Meryuma does. This is precisely the response that boggles my mind.

Growing up in a Lutheran school, my refusal of my own sexuality due to the way I was taught caused a massive upheaval in my life. I was taught that it was wrong and yet here I was, unable to do anything to change it. I tried to date girls, but there was just nothing there, no matter how much I wanted to change it.

And here I am after all of that, finally accepting who I am and being an advocate for others who were in a similar situation as I was, unable to cope with the fact that they were raised to believe that being gay was wrong. The fact that you don't believe any of our stories doesn't make it any less true.

In most places amongst modern western nations it is the law...... the prohibition against cousin marriage that still exists in some US states is a holdout from bad research in the 19th century. It's predicated on issues that pretty much don't exist, as such the prohibitions have no business being on the books (which makes it very much like prohibiting same-sex marriage).
