> [@Monty](#): > > “Nature’s God”, huh? Yeah, like that’s constitutional. It may not be Constitutional, but it is Declaration of Independence-al. The phrase appears in the first sentence. (From memory:) > When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the **laws of Nature and of Nature’s God** entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > > [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > > > one human biological male and one human biological female > > Just like how the Bible phrased it!! 🙄 So presumably a same-sex marriage in which one of the spouses is transgender would qualify under these conditions? Personally, I would love to see, for example, a couple of burly bearded bear-guys celebrating their gay wedding and showing off their Iowa marriage license that the state had to grant them because one of them is AFAB. (Not as much as I would love to see Iowa and all other red states ceasing to obsess over their sadistic schemes for anti-LGBQT oppression and instead letting everybody just get the fuck on with their lives, mind you, but I’ll take small victories where they occur.) ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > The Texas legislature wants to give tax exemptions to straight married couples for having lots of kids. Considering the rates of divorce, someone should do the math on how many Republicans will be disqualified for this tax rebate based on the “Neither of them having been divorced” caveat. It will also be funny seeing how many couples get divorced after this, when the one who has never been divorced finds out that their spouse never got around to mentioning their earlier marriage, which now disqualifies them for the tax breaks. ---

Under the definition of marriage that this guy created, Ronald and Nancy Reagan wouldn’t have qualified for the exemption. ---
