Washington Initiative Would Force Married Couples To Have Kids Or Have Their Marriage Annulled
Olympia, Washington
Interestingly, the initiative, if passed, would permanently ban homosexual marriages. That goes along with what you are saying and is "cutting off your nose to spite your face".
The initiative would never pass but the most vocal among its critics will likely be the very people who are against gay marriage. That will be the best part. It will point out the real hypocrisy.
Besides, if most gay people feel they can't get a good shot at legalized marriages in most states, it costs them nothing to make everyone examine what is really meant by a marriage.
My wife and I have no kids, nor do we want any. Many of our friends who are in committed gay relationships would be better parents that we would. I never once questioned the validity of my marriage even though we both didn't want kids.
So in the end the brilliance of this proposal is to make people really ask the question "What do _I_ get from my marriage and why can't OTHERS have that?" I doubt there is are many couples out there who detest each other but simply want to make more christian babies. If there is, they should be locked up and kept out of the gene pool.
No one enters into marriage for the experess purposes of making more babies. They can do that without marriage. Marriage obviously means a lot more than just making kids.
So gay people can then ask "Why can't we have a committed relationship with appropriate recognition?" The only answer the right has been able to come up with is "Because you can't make babies" to disguise their hatred of homosexuals.
I've had enough with this "love the sinner but hate the sin" garbage. They hate the sinner.
Bravo for anyone who can make the rest of society actually think about why they reject gay marriage. Because ultimately they will accept it if they know why they are married.
So you think that even those people who are suicidal, drug-addicts, and/or physically abusive to others, should have babies? Boy I wish I lived in the right-wing land of candy and sunshine sometimes, rather than in the left-wing real world, where not every person is good.all people should have babies. If little gay people have babies then people wont have a reason to not let them get married.
But you'll be single!!yes, the homosexual militancy is getting ratcheted up a notch.
pretty soon i'll be marching down YOUR street in pink pumps and gold daisy dukes leading families out of their homes like a fruity pied paper down the yellow brick road towards the emerald city disco.
To the contrary, a Constitutional amendment is sought because state courts are overruling the will of the people by throwing out perfectly legal laws against homosexual marriage. The courts are making the laws in other words.
So, you have the whole street to yourself, or do you speak for others?But it won't be on my street, guaranteed!!
Joshua didn't read the OP carefully enough and assumed this was another anti-gay bill. Forgive his ignorance.I think this is a great idea, but to be fair it should be extended to heterosexual couples. No children for three years = anullment. You wouldn't have a problem with that, would you?
[sarcasm] How dare you question what goes on inside a couple's bedroom and home! People should have the right to decide the manner in which they define their marriage, with or without children![/sarcasm]I think this is a great idea, but to be fair it should be extended to heterosexual couples. No children for three years = anullment. You wouldn't have a problem with that, would you?
clearly false. if such laws are Constitutional, then no Constitutional change is needed. If judges somehow have the authority to make laws outside of the Constitution (which you've shown no evidence of) than changing the Constitution to say what you claim it already says is useless anyways.
The clear evidence shows that laws banning gay marriage are unconstitutional as they stand, and so Constitutions are being changed since people won't give up their bigotry along with the laws
why is that?
It's a private street protected by the trespassing laws in a conservative communitySo, you have the whole street to yourself, or do you speak for others?
It doesn't need to be extended to heterosexual couples because it ONLY applies to heterosexual couples.I think this is a great idea, but to be fair it should be extended to heterosexual couples. No children for three years = anullment. You wouldn't have a problem with that, would you?
Well, I actually agree with this. So many people are trying to use "marriage is only for children" defense against homosexual marriage. So if it's all-fired important to have kids, maybe those who believe that should put their money where their mouth is.
