Are the Danes on the road towards the end of civil marriage? If not, why will that happen in the US? \*As Rick Mercer says: “Denmark! Come for the fjords, stay for the moral chaos!”. ---

> [@villa](#): > > **whole bean** : > > Why do you think it is appropriate to have “no dudes in the ladies’ room”? ‘Cause they pee on the seat? It was a bit of a joke. I’m not sure if there are laws about dudes in bathrooms (you have to have some sort of state action ot implicate the EPC). If I were forced to guess, the boys’ rooms girls’ room divide is enforced by the owner of the facility. However, there are to my understanding a decent amount of court cases holding that there is a presumption that the morther should be the primary custodial parent for a child of tender years. That would appear to be a case of state gender discrimination that does not violate the EPC. ---

> [@3trew](#): > > **Chessic** ’s just upset because if the queers can unlock the “Getting Married” achievement it will put them 10 points closer to his life score. While that’s hilarious, I actually approve of the ruling, tyvm. I wish the citizenry would pull their head out of their asses and just vote to approve SSM, but I’ll take what I can get. Integrity of the law has to be upheld however, so I wouldn’t be in favor of rulings that I think try to bend the constitution too far. Fortunately, that haven’t happened yet. I refuse to join the circle-jerk that forms for every topic that this board leans heavily toward, though. I can’t stand it when posters feel the need to tag their post with “BTW, I’m for \_\_\_\_, just so you know.” It sickeningly smacks of demagoguery. I could have stated my approval in my original post, but I refuse to ever do so. ---

One of the most interesting aspects of this case, IMO, is that this judge was appointed by Reagan and GHW Bush, and during his confirmation hearings was bitterly opposed by gays and lesbians precisely because they were sure he would be against gay rights. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > Is Sacred Heart a Catholic institution? They won’t be hosing gay marriages. 😃 This brings up an interesting question. If Sacred Heart _is_ a Catholic institution (let’s say it’s a retreat center/romantic getaway), will they be forced to host gay marriages? Or, will they be forced to withdraw services from all couples, like Catholic adoption services have in places like Massachusetts? In other words will they be allowed to discriminate against gay couples? ---

Chessic–yeah, that’s how it works around here. Hardly anyone argues against what you actually post. Instead, they form a belief about your position on the larger issue and argue against that position. I’ve railed against it before, but you just have to accept it and ignore it. But seeing other posters use that tactic is good for separating the wheat from the chaff. On topic: 1. I believe that this decision was completely idiotic and legally unjustifiable, and 2. I have no problem with gay marriage and would vote for it if given the opportunity. ---

> [@waterj2](#): > > Not really. There’s lots of posters here. A good number of them post dumb things from time to time.

Though the mechanism by which this will occur is a mystery. I love when the argument “bad things will happen” is countered with “but the world hasn’t ended yet”. Particularly when, even if I am/were right, the effects coudl not logically be seen yet. A-dime-a-dozen sarcasm is an usual way of hiding the inability or unwillingness to actually think. The abolition of slavery was more than simply making it illegal; it solidified that slavery was inherently wrong and morally repugnant. However, the effects of slavery continue(d) for decades even if the slaves were now free. By altering the definition of marriage (and I may be wrong in thinking it is not the right thing to do) will open the way for further alterations (specifically polygamy and polyamory, not dogs or chairs before you say it) that the societal reason for the privieleges afforded to this union. Marriage as a special institution will seem less relevant and will be replaced by simple (or complicated) civil contracts. ---

Too little time and not enough people wanting it. It took all the time since marriage was invented to have gay marriage and millenia for polygamy (actually polygyny) to almost disappear. I know this is about Prop 8 and the U.S. so anti-miscegenation laws are a good question (and the answer is: they were a recent, stupid addition which is happily gone), but such laws are a glitch in the history of marriage. There were almost no straight-on anti-miscegenation laws anywhere in the “western world”, most marriage laws had more social impediments that were sometimes intermingled with race. also, some alteration are good, some are bad. > [@Onomatopoeia](#): > > Yes, because cadmium-poisoned fish have a negative net impact on humanity.
