Divided over gay marriage

From LA Times of March 12: ...

"Divided over gay marriage" by Roy Rivenburg Paula Ettelbrick, a law professor who runs the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission, recommends legalizing a wide variety of marriage alternatives, including polyamory, or group wedlock. An example could include a lesbian couple living with a sperm-donor father, or a network of men and women who share sexual relations.

One aim, she says, is to break the stranglehold that married heterosexual couples have on health benefits and legal rights. The other goal is to "push the parameters of sex, sexuality and family, and in the process transform the very fabric of society." ... [snip]

Some of us don't want to see any pictures! Reading the words and understanding the mind of fiends is bad enough.

You Said: "...and understanding the mind of fiends is bad enough."

Response: You assume they have a mind!

Comment: If pictures of the decadents are shown each time one of them vomits their drivel an interesting pattern begins to become apparent.

re: To be sure, women are well within their rights to insist that they be their husband's sole love interest, and I suspect the vast majority of women would so insist.)))

They can insist all they like, but it'll be up to hubby who he marries. Then her household assets have simply been divided and lessened, and her children's family status threatened. In the post-marriage world, if everything is marriage, nothing is marriage.

I know of a very affluent liberal couple--she's High Maintenance to da max. They are most vociferously in favor of same-sex marriage. I think I'll point out that shortly nothing will stop her from being only one of SEVERAL trophy wives...not only will she have to share hubby (no great sacrifice), but hubby's checkbook. Heh.

Ah, feminism.

[atomicpossum]

Well, it was the obvious next step, wasn't it? And unavoidable by their arguments to legalize homosexual marriage?

[little jeremiah]

Thanks, bro!

Handsome is as handsome does.

[Aquinasfan]

a network of men and women who share sexual relations.

Oh...the Charles Manson model.

You sound very judgemental...

ugly bump - - - she looks like a female trotsky or one of the other bolshevik revolutionaries of 1917; she's with them in spirit, that's for sure - wanting to tear down and destroy civilization and shake her fist at God.

Intriguing that this comes out the same day as the news that Fresno murderer of 9 is likely a polygamist.

Intriguing that this comes out the same day as the news that Fresno murderer of 9 is likely a polygamist.

Actually, the story ran a few days ago in the Times, but this explosive quote was buried - so people who don't read the LA Times (and many who do) never saw it. I heard it when somebody called into MICHAEL SAVAGE radio show and read it aloud - - saying it finally convinced him to believe the warnings that Savage had been issuing.

"The other goal is to 'push the parameters of sex, sexuality and family,' and in the process transform the very fabric of society."

Push the parameters of sex huh? Does that include children being sexually abused by family members and strangers as well? This whole things makes me sick!!!!!

[Doctor Stochastic]

Of course lawyers would be for this. The divorce paperwork for a split-the-sheets settlement could take years to process.

[independentmind]

This is about limiting parental control over our children and nothing else.

That's part of it, to be sure, but not all of it. What it's really about is getting rid of all limits. Since families impose all sorts of oblgations upon their members, they have to go.

[cgbg]

What this "professor" proposes is still discrimination.

Our house has a male human, a female human, a male dog, a female dog. Also found on the property are stray cats, porcupines, squirrels, birds, deer, bear, coyote, and an occasional hyena (or is it a left-winger in drag).

Until we can get a tax deduction for each we are being treated unfairly by the tax code.

Waa waa waa waa.

;-) Being a liberal is so much fun!

Whenever I see these idiots on the tube I start humming that old rock tune that should be the new national anthem:

Gimme gimme gimme.

Gimme some more.

Gimme gimme gimme.

"post-Christian west"

Now correct me if I'm wrong but didn't King David in the Old Testament have something like 700 wives? That being true there would seem to be some biblical precedent for polygamy and/or polyamory argements today.

[Siamese Princess]

Narses, I think that you are more right that any of us want to admit.

Who is Monty Python?

I can't believe that was a serious question, but here you go... Monty Python. The Dead Parrot Sketch as what is arguably the second funniest line ever said on T.V.... "This is an ex-parrot!".

I never cared much for Wilder, but anybody who can fall off a train three times and make it seem plausible deserves some lasting recognition.

Something more interesting is when it was decided when he was to old to be King..
When he was put with his most beautiful wives and he couldn’t get it up anymore.

[xzins]

That was his son Solomon with all the wives and concubines...but...it doesn't change your point.

However, Christianity is not Judaism, and Jesus did not approve of polygamy. He said, "In the beginning God made them male and female and A man shall leave him father and mother and be united to his wife; and the two of them shall be one flesh."

Therefore....The Post-Christian West
