And this should be a surprise to nobody.

In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state in the United States to legalize same-sex marriage. Up until that point an unnamed major corporation had provided health care coverage for the partner for those in a same sex relationship. This was to address the agreement that workers who were married had health care coverage for their spouces. Once Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage, the unnamed major corporation announced that they would only be providing health care to employees and spouses. Either get married or lose their friend's health care. Sometimes you need to be careful what you ask for.

Oh, don't get me started on the stories of same-sex divorces.......... basically WTF 50%!

Progressives posit polygamy and polyamory are “vastly different.” They decry polygamy, in which typically one man has several wives, as oppressive and patriarchal, while the amorphous “polyamory” is consensual and liberating, even for the kids.

Well, of course they see them as different. Polygamy has all those yucky heterosexual and (ughh!) religious connotations they so despise. Polyamory is much more hip and happenin', not to mention more inclusive of all those 328 genders they're convinced exist.

For your interest.

I’ve been saying for a while now that when a family member marries another family member in order to avoid taxes, their view of this will change dramatically.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I think it's going to be a race among:

- Lowering the age of consent
- Sex with pets no longer being considered animal cruelty
- Incest as long as all parties are of age and some attempt is made to prevent conception

Place your bets.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

If one member of a family has a decent health plan and wants to get another member of his family on that plan who isn’t his wife, then the incest loophole will become very popular.

They’re “not harming” their morals because the dont have any. For everyone else, it’s very harmful.

Exactly my argument when this Gay Marriage BS was Federalized by the SCOTUS.

I actually found a Political Gay Site at the time and made the case for Polygamous Marriage being Federalized as well.

The responses I got were not what I expected. One guy actually said, they can’t do that, it involves more than two People.

I responded, oh, so you want the Door closed behind you now that you got what you want. I see how that works now.

Since Gay Marriage is now a Constitutional Right, why not Polygamy, Incestuous Marriage (which currently varies from State to State) and a Federal Age of Consent (which currently varies from State to State)?

"You can’t say this!"

To be precise, you and I (and all people) are primates. The difference is that most of us are civilized, not feral.

SOMERVILLE? SOMERVILLE? Guess it would be true, they kinda took over from Cambridge crazy. I spent quite a few good years there, but am so glad I got away!!

[Diogenesis]

Mass did not legalize it.

Romney (money from Maxwell the pedophile;
and from Bain Stericycle and Ukraine, and Soros)
ordered it.
What the SOB did was unConstitutional.
But like the Wuhan Plague ....

[smalltownslick]

I didn’t know that, but remember that horrible story from several years ago, some NAMBLA guys kidaped a young boy, put him in a giant tub, and dumped him in a river n Maine???

[Fledermaus]

The same Mass that drove out Mormons?

I knew this was coming.

[voicereason]

What next adults marrying children?

That's been a goal of the Left for a long time. Anything to destroy a normal sense of family structure.

[jmaroneps37]

Thank you John “I’m being blackmailed”Roberts.

[manc]

yep

[manc]

right and what has that got to do with what I said? Nothing unless you would like to enlighten everyone.

[Sam Gamgee]

Yup. Slippery slope. Next we will have bakers required to make cake for Nancy and her new husband, Ruffs.
