The institution of marriage should not exist

[Paslode]

With the announcement of some jurisdictions closing the door on marriages, and the potential furor between church and state over gay marriage.....Uncle Sugar might be able solve all our problems by scrapping the thorn of marriage!

Bait And Switch:
How Same Sex Marriage Ends Family Autonomy
The goal isn't equality - it's abolishing an institution.

We can sort out six developments that indicate we’re on the fast track to abolishing civil marriage. They include: 1) The blueprint for abolishing family, developed by the founder of feminist legal theory, Martha Fineman; 2) support and advocacy of Fineman’s model by facilitators and regulators in the Obama Administration; 3) the statements of prominent LGBT activists themselves, including their 2006 manifesto which in effect established the abolition of marriage as the goal of the same sex marriage movement; 4) the demographic shift to single rather than married households; 5) the growing shift in social climate from marriage equality to marriage hostility; and 6) the recent push to export the LGBT agenda globally, particularly targeting poor and developing nations of Africa.

I'm bisexual, I want to marry a spouse from each sex. The gov't can't constrain love forever. Oh when will my freedoms be granted?

...damn hetero-flexibles must be oppressed and discriminated against immediately.

Heteroflexibles aren't "gay-enough" to get any of their own freedoms just yet.
Maybe later.

That was a specific hypothetical put to the barrister by Scalia during the oral arguments as he attempted to make them play the tape to the end. He used 2 of each wanting to "unite" their little fire team into the same club, as he tried to articulate the issues that come from taking something from the states (where there may be latitude for granting or not of exceptions) vs. codifying something as "constitutional" at the Federal level. For him it was a states' rights thing that in the end would leave less latitude to the people.

Y'all just gon' have to wait your turn for the next SCOTUS evolution & the reality shows that follow.

One professional organization says one thing:

While another says something different:

Neither group has yet thought out the possibilities of 3 member parenting. If two stable parents are beneficial to a child's well being it goes without saying 3 or even more member parenting groups will probably raise a near perfect child.

But she said the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage should strengthen their chance of winning the appeal.

“We hope the Supreme Court decision will show the direction the nation is going,” she said. “It’s more liberal, it’s more understanding about people forming the families the way they want.”
