Would you be the bride? Would you wear white? Dannymac Send a noteboard - 20/10/2012 07:58:52 PM
I do prefer your "marry a corporation" language to the "marry a dog" question when this was being argued concerning matters of race. The implication being given by such arguments is that, by defending the right of two people of like mind to marry, we are entering into the realm of legalizing disgusting things, such as bestiality, cutlerfelia (I would assume this is a sexual attraction to cutlery, like your spoon example,) or whatever classification we would wish to give to attraction to corporations.

It is those arguments that most reveal the bigotry of the arguer. You have no reason against homosexual marriage other than the fact that it disgusts you.

That is not enough.

As it should be; the DoMA was always a brazen affront to the Equal Protection Clause - 19/10/2012 12:06:13 AM 786 Views

That's such a stupid, puerile argument. - 19/10/2012 03:47:26 PM 659 Views
Not the best analogy, though I agree with the sentiment. - 19/10/2012 04:10:11 PM 590 Views
Then by the "legal argument" you all propose I should have the "right" to marry a spoon... - 19/10/2012 05:48:32 PM 620 Views
if your spoon or dog is capable of making power of attorney decisions then by all means do so *NM* - 19/10/2012 06:41:43 PM 285 Views
How about I "marry" a corporation then. THAT is how stupid the entire arguement is. *NM* - 19/10/2012 07:25:13 PM 276 Views
Another good example of how corporations aren't the same as people. *NM* - 19/10/2012 10:07:32 PM 288 Views

Which is why the entire method of legal attack being mounted is dumb. - 19/10/2012 05:53:12 PM 705 Views
