Why banning Gay marriage IS unconstitutional

Postby New West Guiana » Sun Mar 18, 2012 8:07 pm

I've gone through the pages of NS General and have noticed a rise of religious zealots pushing some from of craziness.


So the Republican Party is against gay marriage because they call it:
An attack upon the sanctity of traditional marriage


Well to you all who think that laws banning two men/ two women from getting married are fine and they're not Un-constitutional, well there is a problem with that, mainly if you use the word sanctity because in the dictionary if you've ever hard of one, it defines sanctity

sanc·ti·ty   [sangk-ti-tee]
noun, plural -ties.
1.
holiness, saintliness, or godliness.
2.
sacred or hallowed character: the inviolable sanctity of the temple.
3.
a sacred thing.


sanctity = sacred

sa·cred   [sey-krid]
adjective
1.
devoted or dedicated to a deity or to some religious purpose; consecrated.
2.
entitled to veneration or religious respect by association with divinity or divine things; holy.
3.
pertaining to or connected with religion ( opposed to secular or profane): sacred music; sacred books.


Sanctity = sacred = religious

First Amendment of the US Constitution
Congress shall make no law of respecting or establishment of religion


Banning gay marriage, because it goes against the sanctity of traditional marriage so your entire point of banning gays couples from marrying is void because using the word sanctity as a reason would be making laws of establishing a religion, which is Un-Constitutional. Federal law > state law. Supreme Court > federal Law > state law.

Thus I have no more to say.

So everyone do you agree?

NS is just a state of mind, time has no boundary nor does our sanity.

Please ignore my senseless ramblings, I'm getting old.

The issue is that those who wish to ban gay marriage will continue to call for it regardless of any intellectual argument, because they believe in banning gay marriage for emotional reasons rather than intellectual reasons.

Well done. It is sad, though, that many will continue to believe their faith-based hypotheses and not come out into the glorious world of actual reality. Can't hurt to spread the word to other like-minded people, though.

New West Guiana used LOGIC!

It's not very effective...

We've heard this argument several times and I'm tired of it. I don't disagree. I'm just tired of it.

Go back to my solution - government ceases to recognize word 'marriage', call everything a civil union or domestic partnership, even all the heterosexuals, but give everyone all the current benefits and rights of marriage. And then everyone can just call marriage whatever the fuck they want.

The government can't force a church to marry two people. You're just using the arm of the government to force social change while jerking off your liberal boyfriend at the same time. Repent your sins before you regret it, you mindless pinko heathen. Shame on you, and shame on those who agree with this!

No. We don't get to change the words of a legal term just to appease a bunch of angry people.
