Don't even ask. Some people here believe there is one, and that it has something to do with heterosexual rights.

Breaking up of traditional straight marriage isn't a hetero issue?

Ignoring second wives still, and infertile siblings.


Polygamy isn't a moral issue so much as a legally complicated one, especially when it comes to inheritance issues, benefits, and power of attorney. Work those things out, and I'm fine with it. Infertile siblings are an even trickier issue, If there's a push to allow for it, then I'll listen to the arguments.

Your logic is im-press-ive.


That's not my logic. I was merely demonstrating whoever it was whose argument started with "you can marry who you love" that that assumption could easily be false.


You were sort of tossing in a slippery slope aspect to it though, on the assumption that there would be nothing to impede the progression.

There is no difference under the argument that marrying who you love should be okay. Obviously they are not equal in many ways, but under the premise of free love, they would be.


There are significant legal differences, and in the case of any incestuous relationships, medical issues to be considered, as well as power relationships.

What sort of STRAIGHT issues would you like to discuss instead of bringing in how others gaining rights hurts you so?
Not directed at you of course.

The only heterosexual issue I can think of from gay marriage being legal are inheritance laws. But that's easily resolved in courts.

Divorce rates, alimony law, how to understand your opposite gender spouse, the merits and pitfalls of a traditional nuclear family, among other things.

Please do not be so shortsighted.

Every so often there is an amazing thread like this. It is a shitposting thread. And for some reason mods are okay with this.

But if you want to be willfully ignorant and believe that I want to deny homosexuals the right to marry anyone they want, you can have that flawed perception.

Uh-huh. Sure.
Sorry, but the only people that bring marrying inanimate objects and/or animals up in a discussion about legalizing ssm are people who are opposed to ssm.

Give homosexuals the same rights in reverse, problem solved. Have fun with separate but legal, it works trust me history shows so.

None of which is a heterosexual issue. Racists are forced to serve members of the race they hate and I don't see anyone up in arms about it.

No, I wasn't using slippery slope. I was merely pointing out that there are plenty of heterosexuals who are not allowed to marry, so saying gays should because heterosexuals can is a flawed argument.

Someone already mentioned divorce rates not increasing. And those are not exclusive to heterosexuals.

What? I believe the government shouldn't be able to say at all who can and can't marry. Then 100% can have the right.
