Heterosexual Rights & Issues

[Norstal]

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.

Racism, to my knowledge, is not a religious belief.

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.

...that...isn't...how...it works?

Heterosexuals, with some individual exceptions, are generally allowed to marry. Homosexuals generally are not allowed at all. That's how it works.

I'm okay with the objects part, animals too as long as they aren't sexually violated etc.

Neither are capable of informed consent.

True, I see little harm in an object, animals I was more thinking purely for inheritance, so I retract that statement, either way I agree people only bring up that topic to make it seem like a slope "If we allow the gays, why not just let me marry my cat cause bible... moral fiber... bla bla bla, I'm boring."

Also, religion has been used as a tool to keep people enslaved. "Slaves, obey your masters" and such.

Ouch, that burn hurt me, too.

I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying.

He says that since polygamists can't do their thing at the moment our argument for homosexual marriage is flawed.

Which is bullshit, even though I'm totally fine with polygamy.

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

Traditional Straight Marriage is more of a cultural issue, more or less, not a issue at all.

I was focusing on the thread title. Seeing if it had actual discussion merit or was just here to flaunt its privilege.

I see little use of this thread then.

I think the point of this thread was "You shouldn't force heterosexuals to serve gay customers" and "You shouldn't force churches to marry gay couples".

But the OP has constantly stated homosexual marriage should not be allowed at all.

[Godular]

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.

As long as they're consenting adults, it seems to be that the prevailing opinion is "Whatevs"

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.

Oh really? How is somebody who is trying to marry their television heterosexual? Because the anime character on it is a girl?

Consent is a critical factor in determining who can marry. Objects, animals, and children cannot.

If they're consenting adults, there should be no restriction.

[Excidium Planetis]

The purpose of my question was to show that the argument used a flawed premise. That was perfectly clear.

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.

So I suppose all those people who said they were okay with it are also anti-SSM? That's some nice logic you have there, you just called most of the people commenting alongside you anti-SSM.

I'm perfectly fine with people marrying inanimate objects and animals and people of the same sex. I guess that makes me anti-SSM?

It's obvious that the Levites have risen from their graves, killed another 3,000 people after breaking the tablets of the ten commandments, and want to take over the government.

Oh, my bad. I didn't read the polygamy bit, haha.

I won't link to the Klan's website because I'm not sure if it's kosher.

Yes, not allowed at all... Wonder what the world map works like.

Consent is a critical factor in determining who can marry. Objects, animals, and children cannot.

If they're consenting adults, there should be no restriction.

People trying to marry their opposite sex sibling are heterosexual. A man trying to marry a second wife is heterosexual. And consenting, all of them. So YES, there are heterosexuals who are not allowed to marry who they want.

These sort of people and threads still exist?

America isn't the world. Please, if you want to know, I'd like you to take a trip to Saudi Arabia, and see what happens when a boy says, "I want to marry this guy".

[Prussia-Steinbach]

They're called Republicans, and they meet at the all-white Baptist church down on Mulberry Street.

Nobody here has said they are okay with being able to marry objects, animals, or children. You brought the subject up, and are apparently now blaming us for talking about it.

Either way I'm pretty sure the argument religion has nothing to do with race is now effectively null and void.

People trying to marry their opposite sex sibling are heterosexual. A man trying to marry a second wife is heterosexual. And consenting, all of them. So YES, there are heterosexuals who are not allowed to marry who they want.

And I would advocate for the lifting of those restrictions. Why are you arguing as if this somehow defeats the ssm argument?

Should we start the pologymy rights and incest rights threads?
