The gender of the parents pales in importance compared to many other factors.
People are people, their are mean drunks who sleep around, and abuse children, and they can be gay or straight. So what's your point?

You should be careful, you may get sued for misuse of a trademarked name in your user name.
The "age of consent" is only defined by law, which can and has been changed.

I feel sorry for my grandchildren, and their own parents voted to reelect 0bama, because their lives are so busy, and the get their news from their MSN homepage on IE and they watch the Daily Show and Bill Maher. They are cluless about current events.

One must take care when using the phrase 'mentally ill'. There are millions out there who have a mental illness. But they may take meds or get therapy and work and have families and lead a functional life. Only a sliver are sufficently unable to manage life that not only are they considered disabled, but have decisions made by other people. It is ONLY that small sliver effected by legal constraints.

Just explaining.

My position has already stood up in court. And is in the supreme court now. Whereas the marriage is for procreation position was shot down already by at least 2 courts, and was laughed off by a SC justice.

Try your crap with me, and I'll own your rig, your house, and your horse.
The people have the right to punish anyone who is technicaly in violation of law - that is why when I have been arrested the case on the docket read People of California vs. Mensa130(substitute for my real name).

What is your point?

I have been arrested several times but only convicted twice, and only sentenced to probation on misdemeanors.

I pled guilty to both.

Oh, I was tried and convicted of not wearing a seatbelt. I forgot about that one. That is the only thing that I pled not guilty to.

State-by-State Marriage "Age of Consent" Laws - FindLaw

Our marriage laws are defined differently in every state, the SCOTUS has no business deciding marriage laws for an entire nation, that sure as hell would not be federalism, in a representative form of government.

I don't read MSN (unless I click on a news link from Yahoo), haven't watched Jon Stewart in years, and only catch Bill Maher maybe once every 4-5 episodes. I know plenty about current events, work in the field of research, and still thought Obama was the better choice... not perfect, by any means, but I didn't want to throw my vote away on Johnson and Romney was a joke. JMO, though, and unlike you I won't make baseless personal attacks based on how YOU chose to vote.
