For goodness' sake. A cat is not able to understand a contract. If one party cannot understand their part in a contract, then the contract is void. Until a cat can willfully and knowingly enter into a contract with you and understand all of it's obligations thereof, no you can't marry your cat.
Or your fencepost, or your prize sheep, or your mailbox.
Who gave you the authority to decide that? People have had non consensual marriages for centuries.
Question, when will there be a kiss-in at a Muslim owned business? Or protesting a mosque because of Islam's view of homosexuality..................................... ...........crickets................
When will a leftist go up to a Muslim at scream stop the hate?...........................
Generally Islam is not influencing US law. The same can not be said for Christianity.
Now Islam is in full control of other countries' laws, that's for sure, but that really isn't of any concern to me right now.
I don't protest or anything against Christianity by the way. I'm just telling why those who do protest don't usually protest against Islam.
I think a lot of people who claim it's a choice are actually latent homosexuals who are not conscious that they are and/or they have a hidden inclination towards homosexuality that they suppress. If they mix latent homosexuality with a church upbringing that teaches it's a sin then fighting their inner homosexual impulses to remain "straight" is all the proof they need that it's a (fault) choice. The ones who shout the loudest that it's a choice are all suspect and can't we all think of a few loud anti-gay TV preachers who have all been caught in compromising situations?
Good way to convince self. The human mind is amazing.
Having grown up surrounded by Southern Baptists, I can assure you they never waste their time doing "good works" - they think "being saved" is all Jesus wants from them. They spend the rest of their time criticizing Catholics, Jews, black people, Methodists, Presbyterians.. and Mormons. They really, really hate Mormons. Good luck, Mitt.
Considering that legal marriage is a contract, and you must have informed consent to enter into any contract, I would say consent has a whole lot to do with a legal civil marriage.

Not my theory. There have been studies on the connection between homophobia and males who exhibit latent homosexuality in recent years but Sigmund Freud was the first to propose the idea.
I don't think he should have lost his job. Free speech should be allowed in all matters. Like CFA's free speech.
You are correct. And companies have the right to fire a CEO who becomes a public embarrassment. If you are a CEO, you can't act like an a$$hole in public. The board of directors and stockholders don't like that.
He should NOT have lost his job over this. What happened to his First Amendment rights?
Did he advertise that he was the CFO of this company in the first place? How did everyone know to pinpoint him out?
Where does the first amendment say you can be an a$$hole and employers cannot fire you?
Yes, he has the freedom to say what he wanted and to harass an employee of another company. And his employer has the freedom to fire him for being an A$$hole.
Well heterosexuals seem to think that their rights super-cede mine. I won't settle for less than equality under the law.
You have it backwards, and I won't settle for less than equality under the law.
