Marriage is always a choice, whatever the motive(s.) Joel Send a noteboard - 22/10/2012 04:00:40 PM
as if they are on the same page of topics?

Homosexuality is not chosen, it just is or is not.

Medical evidence either way remains inconclusive. It probably comes down to the old nature vs. nurture debate, and is not SOLELY chosen NOR predetermined.

Polygamy is a choice, 100%. No one wakes up as they are coming into themselves in their teens and thinks "OMG I'm a polygamist!!"

Most teens wake up (daily) thinking, OMG, I want to have sex with many people! I dare say they far outnumber those who wake up thinking, OMG, I want to have sex with my own gender!

What each chooses to DO about their thoughts and desires is another matter. Many strongly reject marriage on any basis. However, many others actively seek a marriage consistent with their desires and beliefs. The Equal Protection Clause requires the law recognize all such choices between consenting adults, or none.

Slightly better than chocolate.

Love still can't be coerced.

Government needs to stop legislating morality. So yes *NM* - 20/10/2012 03:36:37 AM 399 Views
That's a huge chunk of what government does. - 20/10/2012 04:35:45 PM 777 Views
That's not what I'm saying - 21/10/2012 03:21:08 AM 801 Views
So you're opposed to abortion and gun control then? Welcome aboard! - 21/10/2012 06:14:14 AM 752 Views
Why do you keep talking about gay marriage and polygamy in the same sentence.. - 20/10/2012 03:58:26 AM 818 Views
Get a grip. Your response is just what I tried to avoid. - 20/10/2012 04:33:40 AM 745 Views

The idea of a group marriage makes me uncomfortable - 20/10/2012 04:19:48 PM 745 Views
As long as it is equitable - 20/10/2012 05:55:57 PM 741 Views
The state shouldn't even recognize marriage beyond name changes anyway - 21/10/2012 03:52:40 AM 816 Views
Indeed - 21/10/2012 06:04:41 AM 881 Views
I don't give a damn what you call it. That's your business. - 21/10/2012 06:17:40 AM 1153 Views

Legal contracts must be open to all consenting adults, or none. - 22/10/2012 03:11:55 PM 836 Views
You are correct, yet your reasoning is flawed. - 23/10/2012 03:20:25 PM 748 Views
Again, the Equal Protection Clause has far less force on private entities than on government. - 23/10/2012 03:52:06 PM 687 Views
Much less force, yes. - 23/10/2012 04:15:03 PM 695 Views

No the analogy is not exact, nor legally the same... - 23/10/2012 07:33:25 PM 660 Views
Analogy is not equality, only similarity. - 24/10/2012 04:37:29 PM 867 Views
