Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Opponents of same-sex marriage also ask:
If homosexual, why not cousins? Why not brothers and sisters? Why not multiple partners?
Why allow homos but not cousins to marry?
Until you fight for cousins’ rights to marriage - which are specifically banned - you aren’t truly about “being fair” or “open”. You’re in it only for yourselves/homos.
Cousin marriage is a bad analogy.
First cousins may legally marry with no restrictions in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia.
Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Utah, and Wisconsin allow first cousins to marry under certain circumstances.
The rest of the states have prohibited it. However, as far as I know, none of them refuse to recognize as valid cousin marriages that were performed in the states where it is legal.
The United States of Fairness. How can that go wrong?
Is it fair that opposite sex couples in most situations can marry one another, but same sex couples ‘in love’ are not allowed?
Well..
Is it fair that most opposite sex couples under 40 can reproduce naturally, but same sex couples ‘in love’ can not?
Is nature fair? Should we pass a law to make it fairer?
This is what you get when morons vote.
No it’s not. It’s a valid law in most states and widely-assumed premise everywhere. The point is close-family relations is anathema as is polygamy and under-age. There are laws on the books. Meanwhile I’m unaware of ANY old laws that specifically prohibit male-male/female-female marriage - that was just assumed!
gullible voters are the tools of evil in our decaying Republic, as well as in every civilization in history...
queer *marriage* is akin to a square circle...God defined the terms, if it isnt *fair* then these morons need to argue with Him...
we can legislate marriage to the extent that we can legislate against the law of gravity...sure, we can manipulate it a bit, but we cant change the fundamental nature of it...
our society/culture is on the backside [pun intended] of the toilet trap, and the sucking sound is the next flush thats pushing us down the line toward the tank...
“This is what you get when morons vote.”
Bring back the Poll Tax!!!
you can pass a million laws and it still wont change nature

I think everyone here is being too hard on Dennis. I think he makes a compelling argument that is best suited for our friends and family that may disagree with our conservative stance on marriage.
This is pretty much how I’ve argued it in the past and I’ve had great success. People who are not practicing or religious tend to shut down when presented with any moral argument based on religion.
Agreed. It was a pretty good piece. 1 I will post to my ultra-lib cousins when they Facebook me garbage like “Isn’t Obama’s Health Care Wonderful?”
Well then I am sure you would support monogamous pedophiles as well....
You employ moral relative argument. There are absolute truths that one can not simply compromise away.
Ever hear the phrase “damning with faint praise”?
Repeal the 19th!! That will end this so called gender gap!
In all seriousness, basic intelligence test should be required, and the test conducted in English.
