Coitus remains naturally ordered towards childbearing even when either or both spouses are infertile. This is easily demonstrated by the fact that a single conjugal act does not necessarily result in procreation, even when both spouses are fertile.

Except that natural ordering doesn't exist and you made it up.

The 93rd Coalition wrote:Now by the title, I don't mean slavery. I just had an idea a few days ago that may or may not be considered offensive by some of you. And hence this thread was made.

I was in class and we were talking about how when a homosexual goes to the hospital, their partner is a actually not considered a family member, rather as a stranger, and is not permitted. I investigated about other things that marriage does to benefit straight couples, and it obviously turns out - a lot.

So, to keep all the Republicans and the Church happy, could there not be an alternative to marriage? Like a legal bonding that says that these people are together, they are permitted to adopt a child, live under the same roof, treated as a family member, etc, etc. But rather than it be blessed by a judge or priest, it would merely be a document stating all the aforementioned rights by their attorney (Although treated with just the same respect as any marital commitment.)

So what do you thing, NSG? Could this work? Would it not? Has this been suggested? Am I blue?

As a young lesbian, I would love to have this with my GF, so when we're adults, we could actually care for each other on the political level.

Or just go all the way and have equal rights and accept none of these "separate but equal" excuses. You shouldn't be forced to compromise by accepting that you are lesser.

A good analogy is a baseball team. A baseball team is naturally ordered towards winning baseball games, even if they never actually win a baseball game.

True. However, what is and what should be are two different things.

And annulment is stupid anyway. Trying to retcon reality? Really?

That is a really bad analogy, especially since some baseball teams are geared towards other goals, like teaching teamwork and preventing ids from being on the street after school. Again how can something that will never produce a child be geared towards children, especially when the act is not always, done for the purpose of children. Also, you are ignoring the fact that homosexuals can have kids and or adopt.

Why risk that?

Mandatory fertility tests before we grant marriage licenses.

Of course it exists. Certain acts are designed (whether by man, God, or evolution) to result in certain outcomes.

Even if they are madly in love? Why do you discriminate against those who literally can't produce children?

What? The makes utterly no sense, as everyone else is saying. I'm not trying to convince you, but people who want to get married but lack sexual organs or fertility have and should the right to marry.

But does not prevent them from marrying in the first place. They are legaly married, and not having sex does not mean their marriage is automatically annulled.
