What was the last "hetero pride" parade or event you've heard of?
Mardi Gras.

So...you'd do something about it?
Statutory rape. An adult using their position to coerce a child into making a choice theyre not legally able to make
It is possible that something that doesn't affect you directly can cause harm to society (arguably in this case) and indirectly cause you harm?
Using "same" or "opposite" gender is a nonstarter as it's using a broader term to disguise the specifics that actually matter. In this case, men can marry women but women can't marry women, and vise versa.
Would a law stating one can marry the opposite religious preference be constitutional? So athiests can marry religious people and religious people can marry atheists, but an atheist can't marry another athiest and a religious person cant marry another religious person?
After all, NOBODY could marry someone of the same view regarding religion
With the second reading, yes....my tax dollars go to the school, and if it's happening on school grounds then the activity is illegal, so it's creating a situation that can negtively involve my kid. If it was off school grounds, or at another school, I wouldn't
Yes, however nobody has yet to solidly demonstrate that this is the case with SSM.
Against the rules maybe, but illegal? Is is illegal for two teens to engage in sex?
What I was replying to was TPD saying that "NOBODY is allowed to marry two women" as a way to distinguish polygamy from SSM. I was just pointing out the same argument can apply to SSM.

Does there have to be physical harm for there to be harm to society?

How does a teacher having sex with a student equal abuse?

I said this yesterday, I see no good reason, in principle, why polygamy should be illegal.
same goes for incest marriage if they choose not to have kids. still waitin' on an answer on why I shouldn't be able to marry my imaginary hot sister.
:roll: No. Polygamist can have a religious marriage in a church. They just don't have a legally recognized marriage.

Under our current legal system, there are a large number of laws that would need to be sizably changed or outright removed.
Power of attorney, no longer would it equal your spouse being given that right automatically. Ditto with regards to inheretence if no will I present? Is it just split amongst all spouses or based on time married or what? What happens if a man marries a wife, who marries a wife, who marries another man...but none are actually married to the others. Then the second man divorces the wife....does he have claim to a fourth of what the first woman owns and an eight of what the first man owns since the woman he married has a claim of half of what her wife has and her wife has a claim of half of what her husband has? In divorces, would the biological mother or the wife who took care of the child as the mother the most have rights. And on and on. There is a FAR larger and more in depth issue with our legal system when it comes to changes for polygamy rather than SSM
Sex is illegal in public. A public school is considered a public place and it's as illegal to bang in it's stairwells and bathrooms as it is to do it in the malls stairwell or bathroom.
blah blah blah I want to be able to marry two or more women, legal complications be damned! :mrgreen:
Most every major study I've shown that looks into polygamy shows a massive tendency to issues of jealousy. I'll pass on a regular two girl thing And the cat fights that go with it
hmm, makes me wonder if public decency laws are a violation of the 1st amendment. Just wondering.
I don't understand this. There was no attempt on my part to "hide" anything. NOBODY is allowed to marry someone of the same gender is just, well true.Except it can't unless on attempts to broadly speak about it in an attempt to hide the specifics.
What if a guy wants to marry two other guys?There's no gender discrimination in not allowing polygamy. There is with marriage
oh no, it's not jealousy it's just greed
Believe they've been upheld repeatedly. Not looked at them very closely to be honest
In the most states of the United States, state law prohibits exposure of the genitals and/or the female breast in a public place, while in other states[which?] simple nudity is legal, but evidence of intent to shock, arouse or offend other persons (lewd conduct) is evidence of prohibited conduct. For example, in most states[which?], it is a criminal offense punishable by fines and/or imprisonment, and/or registered sex offender requirements and restrictions. Some states permit local governments to set local standards. Public nudity itself has not been a crime throughout California since a 2000 Appellate Court ruling, and prosecutions and convictions are unheard of, but arrests do still occur, though they also are unusual,[2] and Vermont only prohibits "open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior"[3] so many forms of public nudity are legal.
In many countries men's and women's bare buttocks are not legal in public area. However, while women's bare buttocks are considered sexually obscene, men's bare buttocks are merely considered rude.
Indecent exposure is defined as a crime in the United States Armed Forces by Article 120, Uniform Code of Military Justice. The changes to Article 120 became part of the Manual for Courts-Martial in the 2008 edition.[4]
