  • GIRLFRIEND NEEDS TO GET A NECK TUCK. HOW OLD IS SHE; ABOUT 110?

  • If you wish to argue the merits of polygamy or any other relationship structure, or reform consent laws you are free to petition in a number of ways to change said laws. But our Legislature and SC have already had very deliberate and focused debates about same sex marriage, and have found no legitimate interest in denying it.

  • Yes, there have always been restrictions and many of them carry legitimate reasoning. We do not allow 15 year olds to marry as there are issues of consent. As far as there being a governmental interest in limiting marriage to opposite sex couples, the CA legislature has ruled twice that a ban on gay marriage serves no legitimate state interest. The CA Supreme Court said the same thing last year when it struck prop 22 from the books.

  • Hate to break it to you, but there's also discrimination against people who'd like to marry their half-sister, their first cousin, some 15 year-old girl, a polygamous consensual spouse, or someone who's finished up with but not yet divorced from their last spouse. And those are even relationships that can produce a child.

    How far from the truth to suggest there's ever been some recognised fundamental right 'to marry the person of your choice'. The choice has always been circumscribed.
