Have you tried " if a woman can marry a man, but a man can’t marry a man, it sex discrimination surely."
See no need for SSM laws, it’s all perfectly legal now 
Probably 30-some years ago (I seem to recall I was ~15YO), long before SSM became the issue that it was today, I put forth this statement to one of my older sisters:
“So, lemme get this straight: if you’re Catholic, it’s good for you to marry another Catholic; if you’re white, it’s good for you to marry someone else who’s white; if you’re middle class, it’s good for you to marry someone else who’s middle class, but if you’re a guy, it’s bad for you to marry or want to marry someone else who’s a guy???”
I didn’t know the term ‘WTF’ way back then. But that’s pretty much what this whole idea of parity except in terms of sex did to me. In my teenage mind, and now, in my pushing-50 mind, it doesn’t matter how many of those things you have in common or how many of those things you hold in difference. If you are fortunate enough to have found someone you love so much you want to commit your life to them, and they feel the same way, good on ya!
Probably should have put this on t’other thread, but I don’t really want to go there, cause it be nasty.
On the erosion of marriage
Bwah! ![]()
I ain’t reading your thread because I’m lazy, but I didn’t have to get past this bit to get a hearty chuckle…
Thank goodness someone noticed.

Protip: Whenever anybody tries this argument, tell them that’s sexual discrimination. I’ve never heard a good answer to that.
Horatio Caine?
Only the shades know for sure.
That imagery…and the presupposition that the “face of reason” must have facial hair in order to be credible…funny…
I am seriously in awe at the sheer massivness of Magiver’s cognitive dissonance. It’s just…such a staggering gap.
You know…I think Yorick73 has a point.
If there are non-abusive poly* and incestuous relationships between consenting adults, why shouldn’t we grant them marriage too?
*polygamous, polyandrous…the works.
We should. What’s your point?
Does the mustachioed face of reason look more like Burt Reynolds or Ron Jeremy? I need to know.
Well, if “load after sticky load” is blown onto it, that may lead you in the right direction. And Burt goes by “Turd Ferguson” these days…
Can you give an example?
Same thread as linked in the OP. He starts off relatively slowly in post 198, but really kicks his ignorance into high gear on page 5
I see.
But do you know him…biblically?
