If your claim is that marriage is defined by the children the couple produces, then yes, you are saying my brother and his wife are not really in a marriage.
Now your being ridiculous.. you know darn well that the OP meant that they have the ability to reproduce.. You dont need people to hold your hand this much all the time do you?
Wingsy, I loved your story. However, there is a difference here.
This law is about sex. Pure and simple sex. The only minority difference between a homosexual and a heterosexual is sex and who the genders wish to have their sex.
This is a moral issue, not a culture one. Socially accepted acts carried on in the bedroom...
To be honest, when I have a friendly conversation with a man I expect the looks of questioning, 'why is she being friendly with me'? Now, I can't talk with a woman either. I don't dare compliment her on her outfit.
~ i shake my head ~ no this, no...too much that will help me to graduate into the anti-social, because it is people that have made being social much more difficult.
But hey, the divorce lawyers will have more clients.
Except people would have told you that laws against interracial marriage were about sex too, the contamination of racial purity that would result from interracial marriage was seen as a moral issue, and I don't see how morals are detached from culture. Morals are not objective truths, they are cultural constructs.
what the hell are you talking about? that i could have gone either way? sorry as a small child i was not told i needed to know how to be gay or to have an open mind, fortunately i was a child during a time when gay was not forced upon small children we were to do things like play and have friends and not think about sex.
I'm talking about this:

You seem to feel that people wake up one day and decide they are gay, so I'd like to know what you were up until the day you woke up and decided you were NOT gay.
Seems pretty simple.
Or do you think that all those homosexuals were taught "how to be gay" and it was "forced upon" them?
And this is the reason why we have a Constitution and a court system in the U.S.
There isnt one part of the judges response that poligamists couldnt use to ask to be able to be married either.. You keep repeating the Constitution, so please tell us what part of the Constitution pertains to a privlidge that the government shouldnt be involved with to begin with?

Neither did gays wake up one day and say "hey I'm gay!". They were born that way, Pocahontas.

It doesn't say you cannot marry the same sex, either.
But it DOES quite clearly state you can invade another nation's cities, kill every man, woman and child and take the virgins for yourselves.
Fortunately, what the Bible says about anything is pretty irrelevant.
gay marriage is not the same as interracial marriage
Why is a gay man ruling in a case about a Gay marriage ban any different than someone who is in an inter-racial relationship ruling in a case about an Inter-racial marriage ban??
Well, hell, according to "traditional marriage" and Biblical principles, those women shouldn't be judges anyway. They should be at home in the kitchen keeping their mouths shut, serving their husbands and popping out babies.
Very true, for the vast majority of the whole 'tradition' of marriage women were property.
