Dude - the only thing Same Sex couples want are the rights, liberties, and freedoms every other Americans get to enjoy. They want the right to be married by changing the definition of the term "marriage" within the United States. If the informed consent requirement is tossed then by your logic, I can say that you and I are married and there would be nothing you can do about it...I mean that's what you're arguing is it not?
Some of your buddies around here, in an eager attempt to prove that same-sex "marriage" is an ancient practice, used to trot out the example of the emperor Nero's "marriage" to a male member of his household staff. Trouble is, Nero's male "spouse" was not only a child, but also a slave who had zero say in the matter. No informed consent there!
A quick Google search turned up this page which uses the Nero example:
"In addition, Roman culture is full of examples of same-sex marriage. For instance, Emperor Nero was married to one of his male slaves in a public ceremony."
The page was written by marriage attorneys - highly educated folk. The best educated apologists for same-sex "marriage" have already dispensed with the informed consent requirement.
You're all about changing those requirements to suit your fancy.
And you are all about telling people you don't even know, who aren't members of your religion and do not want to be, how they should live to suit you and your beliefs.
Marry all the time? Seriously? Also, I'm heterosexual - why must you make an assumption that just isn't true?
Okay, can you not read? How can a person of legal age, sound mind, and of willful consent marry an animal who can't meet any of those categories let alone sign a legal, binding contract?
This slippery slope BS *never* works, so why are you bringing it up? Same Sex Marriage and Heterosexual Marriage is the marriage between TWO HUMAN BEINGS.
Stop obsessing about bestiality and marriage with animals. Unless of course you have deep, dark fantasies you wish to tell us about?
Nope I am boring.... A good part of my problem is i am willing to bet $$$ that gays of both sexes who 'marry' will want the feds to invest money into ssm kids by some means...
In other words with all these sex changes tax payers will need to spend on how 2 people of the same sex will get a sex change and still somehow have their own kids egg to egg or sperm to sperm..
Yeah I know you will roll your eyes but in the next 200 years you don't think it would be possible?
Not only do i think it would be possible but I believe it will be common.
