Re: They look like a new boy band... but it's the world's first THREE-WAY same-sex ma
yes, but now you have 14th amendment protection, explicitly. third parties objecting to contracts based on who people are? won't fly. they have no say.
at the same time. a church or whoever who is against it can claim victory as they can say "We don't recognize any gay marriage", and no one would be the worse off for it.
I have already explained why.
If we privative marriage, then no one can stop two adult males from marrying, or two adult females from marrying. Without government enforcement, no one can mandate or control the use of the terms "marriage" or "civil union." This amounts to the legalization of same-sex marriage, which is explicitly what the anti-SSM folks are fighting.
Thus... it's not neutral. It's a victory for SSM.
