Not allowing two people to sign a contract based upon the sex of the people affects everyone.
If one was to agree, then why woulnt you allow 3 people to enter into a similar contract? Wouldnt they also be discriminated against?

However, it disproportionally affects homosexuals, it is, therefore, discriminatory.
1. Anyone can "sign the contract" under the same restrictions as everyone else. My wife and I both had to find someone of the opposite gender to join into contract with.
2. Based on this argument, your beef is not discrimination based on sexual preference. It's that you don't like the current system. So get your buds together and change the law.
All I ask is that someone actually show me how gay people are being targeted for discrimination.

Why is it up to me to go find some obscure case to support my statement against your silly arguments? You're the one making the dumb argument that supposedly innocent little homosexuals are being treated so horribly by big bad heteros.
This is getting old, Strel. You're smarter than this...I know you are.
This is another nail in the coffin of legal discrimination against gay couples and their families in this country.
Defense of DOMA is clearly not a defendable position.
Not so fast. Liberals are big bullies but it looks like he is not backing down.
Hopefully those who support DOMA flood this man with new business.

Defending unpopular clients is what lawyers do ... I recognized from the outset that this statute implicates very sensitive issues that prompt strong views on both sides. But having undertaken the representation, I believe there is no honorable course for me but to complete it," writes Clement.

This argument is currently taking place in Canada. Where a woman wants her relationship with two men legally recognized. Frankly I see no reason to disallow incest between adults if DOMA falls.
In my opinion? Yes. I support polygamist marriages, as well - provided that they are all able to legally consent to the contract.
However, that is not the discussion, and legal case, at hand. Unless you know of some polygamists that are trying to get a case before the SCOTUS?
But...but...but...but....that's discrimination!!!!!!!!! Anyone should be able to get married anyway they want!!!!!! How dare you add conditions to it!!!!!!!!
At least that's the argument that some folks on this thread have been making.
