Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Sorry - I misunderstood your earlier post. I draw the line at incest though (andi am sure you do too)
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Of course but my personal limitations shouldn't dictate an entire culture if we go by the idea of geo or jeenay do so long as it isn't hurting anyone. Sex with close blood relatives is a punishable crime in almost every country including the US, carrying an up to 20 years imprisonment sentence. May be it's time to unban consensual incest too...
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Key here is so long as it is not hurting anyone. Incest or relations with with a minor can damage the minor for life. Hence ban on such relations with minorr is logical and not just implementation of personal biases or limitations.
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
if polyandry is permitted then yes, it would be okay, otherwise it goes against the idea of equality - restricting this freedom of multiple legal partners to just men.
But Queer, why fix what ain't broke? If there are Muslim women out on the streets protesting for polyandry then yes we could debate whether or not it should be made legal (keeping religion aside).
Southie, I was not talking about minors Astaghfirullah. I was talking about two consenting adults. As for psychological damage... they say breastfeeding a child for too long can also have negative psychological effects on the child.... it's debatable.
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Cousin marriages are legal in 19 states. Before civil war it was legal in all of the United States and people commonly practiced it too.in In the Western world, United States has the only bans on cousin marriage
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Ok
When I saw incest I assumed the other party was a minor. Your later post did state both parties are adults.
You have to let me win one argument at least!
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
^ Polygamy kyun, mere bhai? If the basis for your pro gay marriage argument is that two consenting adults can do whatever they want so long as it doesn't harm another soul, why can't a man marry more than once especially if the first wife is willing to compromise? Or what about cousin marriages? What about incest? Surely, they shouldn't be social taboos in the so-called open-minded society as long as it's consensual, right?
Exactly, you explained it better than I did!
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
Anyway while one can argue all of above can be legalized there is no moral equivalence between same sex relations and incest
There is moral equivalence bereeen same sex relations and hetero relations. Case closed
Re: "IN GAY WE TRUST"
I'm pretty disgusted more by the thread title than anything. Not cute at all. Replacing God's name with gay isn't ok. We all know the original thing is In God We Trust, why change it to In Gay We Trust???
