This ruling was made without an immediate stay, so as soon as the state offices are open, they can start issuing same sex marriage licences.

I think you might have an easier time trying to imply that plural marriage might someday be legal. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

From the standpoint of how they are doing gay marriage it already is. Legally what needs to happen is someone who is married in their own country to multiple wives needs to try to live in the USA and sue. At that point the judge has no choice, if you "discriminate" against gays by limiting marriage to one man and one woman you do the same by banning multiple wives. At this point I almost hope this happens. We have nearly destroyed what marriage means in the USA, lets finish the job. The President is a fink. |

I agree. Marriage is between a man and a woman. When two men get legally bonded, it's NOT marriage, it's something else. Calling it marriage doesn't make it so. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Would you be ok with it if it were called something else? "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | I figure if people want to try to legalize polygamy with their pets, it's up to them to make a case for it. Proving consent on the part of their pets, though, will be an interesting spectacle to see. I can hardly wait. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
