Now that the gay marriage is the law of the land, can anyone truly deny the right for 2 girls to marry the same guy?
I think it's just a question of time before we see a lawsuit from a muslim, and a mormon and all their wives and some lesbian couple to challenge the status-quo. And if they do, I cannot see how the Supreme Court can deny them their right in light of last decision on gay marriage.
Why not? It's a contract right? Only 2 can sign the contract at this time and that can be messy to unravel. Imagine a divorce of 3.
I don't know... "because it can be messy to unravel"? I really don't know... that sounds awfully LAME(!) to me as the reason a First World Nuclear Superpower gives to answer this question. And it is the only answer they have ever given. Legal Gay Marriage was and is a game changer. There is now a need to come to grips with the legal and social intricacies of polygamous and polyamorous marriage. Who knows, it might make the system of divorce fairer for the rest of us.
I had a political science professor (brilliant guy!) propose this question. It was an interesting discussion in my civil liberties class.
FWIW, his argument was that it is a perfectly valid argument to make. Once you open the door on different marriages than the traditional, it's likely that other types of non traditional marriages will come into question and maybe law.
Why only 1? 2 is 1 and 1 is gone How about Freedom of religion and 1st amendmend? Our current laws deny that to Muslims.
I think it would be a lovely debate!
No, it's a silly debate. And you are just trolling and baiting. Gays only wanted what others have. To argue that their rights somehow open the door to silly and weird combinations is a hollow argument. In Massachusetts, gays have been marrying for 10 or so years, and I have not heard of any silly situations that you mentioned.
This country is based on monogamy, and if the Muslims want to follow their Sharia laws and keep multiple wives, then they can move to a Muslim country that allows lt. We have a two spouse system, for both gay and straight people. That's it.
