Argentina legalizes gay marriage in historic vote

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

The whole well if we legalise gay marriage we must legalise polygamy bogus. Heard it all many times before.

And badgers. Don't forget the right of a man to marry a badger.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

And the right of a person to have a wife that is also their sister.

Uh huh. And the right of adults to marry children.

Sheep too.

As discussed ad nauseam the other day, many of us straights have chosen not to procreate. Should we not be allowed to marry?

D*mn right! And if you cannot procreate, because you're too old or sterile, you also shouldn't be allowed to marry. After all, marriage has only one purpose.

Yup, breedin'.

[mendeleev 67]

Glad you got it figured out, maven.

Now, if only I could remember why I got married again ...

The answer is clear: breedin'.

The answer is clear: breedin'.

... but we're too old for that, just like my grandpa was when he remarried after grandma died.

Then your marriage is null and void and you better get used to being a bachelor again because them's the brakes. It's very sad, but it's true.

Oh. Yeah. Right...

Anyway, what the Argentines did is great.

And it would be great if marriage were not treated as some sort of inferior contract, not endowed with Constitutional protection. Some States, overcome by bigotry, believe themselves empower to impair obligations of marriages of which they disapprove. Decades ago, many of these states did the same regard miscegenation. Perhaps Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution should not apply to these sort of contracts, the bigots seem to believe. And bigots have believed this for a long time.

The "bigot" label is totally lame and adds nothing but lame self righteousness to the debate. You either buy into homosexual parity with heterosexuality and embrace it as a societal norm or you are a bigot? Name calling and labels are a lazy and cowardly way to debate the merits of your point of view. It pretty much shows a lack of merit and a bankrupt point of view.
