Same sex weddings could be economic boon?

MT..as for "separate but equal"  that does not apply.    race should never have been a factor.

For all of you who are not getting it...  We subsidize what we think has value based on that value.   There is no value...or.. more precisely.. there is not the same value for homo marriage as there is for hetro...

A much better case could be made for discrimination based on multiple wives.  The value more closely resembles that of a two person hetro marriage than the 2 person homo marriage does.

For all of you who think homosexual marriage is fair and a good thing I would ask you to at least have the courage to define this new marriage for me.   Please define what is your idea of marriage.

Lazs, how are we subdizing marriage, straight or not? Counties charge for a marriage license.

[lazs2]

if you are serious.. we can start with the tax code.  There are many laws that apply to people who are married but not to ones that are not.

What's next?  Can ghey Mormon males have multiple husbands and the females multiple wives?

Where did all the children goe?  Ohhh Noes there's no children anymore...

[lazs2]

mac..  Like I said...  define what is the new marriage that is fair to everyone.   hell.. any definition will do since we threw out the old one.

How is it now defined?  your comical scenario would seem to be a natural progression of "equal rights" based marriage.

Deviation from the traditional norm is definitely discriminatory if it excludes other consenting adults like would be polygamists. Pandora's box has been opened.

torque.. the reason any of us are "forced" to subsidize hetrosexual marriage is because the union of a man and a woman is the best and most stable form for raising future generations.   You are subsidizing the future..

elderly people and people that never have kids get married all the time... forcing gays to subsidize them as well seems rather socialist.

Lol sounds like the same reasoning for seatbelt laws,   Laz are you sure your not a Dem in hiding?

Next thing you know, Sheep herders will be lobbying for the right to marry sheep under the "equal rights" umbrella.  (rolling eyes here)

[Trell]

Don't agree with the gay life style but I can understand them wanting equal rights with getting married. People may say that marriages are for raising kinds, but how many people are married and don’t have kids?  Should they not allowed to be married?  Maybe make automatic divorce after one year if no kids are produced?.   What about people that have kids and are not married should they be forced to be married for the betterment of the future?

Gays are here and they are not going into hiding to make people feel better,  they pay taxes, run business own homes,  they should have the right to get married with the same government benefits that it entails..

Either that or do away with the government doing anything for all marriages.  Its not like women don’t work and cant support themselves.

[AWMac]

"new marriage"?  Is this what they call it now?

 

[Ripsnort]

I took the liberty of quoting your post into the future, where the progressive American leaders will eventually lead us, I'm guessing by 2020:

Animal porkers are here and they are not going into hiding to make people feel better,  they pay taxes, run business own homes,  they should have the right to get married to the farm animals of their choice with the same government benefits that it entails..

[Trell]

Only if animals at that time are like apes in the planet of the apes

First sheep and now just animals,   looking for other options?   

[Ripsnort]

Only if animals at that time are like apes in the planet of the apes

But who are you to judge if a man and a sheep do not have love, and who are you to say that a man and a sheep cannot marry?  They have equal rights, just like men and women!

Did you get my point yet?
