Where is the hypocrisy? And screw the redefining of anything. If the fed gov wants to grant benefits to one group then it MUST grant the same benefits to others in a similar situation. If I chose to marry my gf and you denied me benefits bc she is black and tried to say I could choose to marry a white woman and then get the benefits it would also be discrimination.
Unrelated man and woman = option to marry
Unrelated man + man, woman + woman = no option to marry
Related man and woman = no option to marry or have sex
Related man + man, woman + woman = no option to marry or have sex
If you really want I will vote to let you marry your brother. Deal?
Seriously? It's really simple and has been explained numerous times in this thread. If you support the redefining of marriage to include two dudes under the guise of "marriage equality" than you MUST support polygamist marriage and consensual incest marriage. Or you're a hypocrite. Either you support marriage equalitry, or you do not. I am holding you to your own standards. Defend you position.
Prohibiting blood related people from having sex and getting married is supported by science. Make a real argument. This line of reasoning just makes you look silly.
Where and how? Who are you to impose YOUR beliefs on two consenting adults?
YOU are the one who keeps using the term "marriage equality," and you clearly have a specific definition in mind, along the lines of ANYONE can marry ANYONE. People who support gays and lesbians having the right to marry their gay or lesbian partner are NOT supporting ANYONE being able to marry ANYONE.
What a hateful and biased position against those who practice incest, polygamy, and polyandry. Why should they be denied equality? Who made you the judge of who can marry and who can not?
Where and how? Who are you to impose YOUR beliefs on two consenting adults?
Because it's based on actual science. That's why they have laws put in place to stop incest and subsequently prevent threads like this from happening 20-30 years down the road.
Once again: if a man marries his brother, how would they refer to themselves: as spouses, or as brothers?
If you can't answer the question, then congratulations! You've just figured out how inherently absurd the OP's question is.
Both?
I see no issue with this.
