Wait until the argument for three same gendered marriage if polygamy is legalized. Or maybe even before? The fair guts won’t be outdone going forward— or is that backwards?
how about gay polygamy incest?..Seven Brothers marry each other..
Hell we might as well throw mom and dad in that fur pile marriage too
Pretty much proof that Kennedy and the four dwarfs just abolished marriage. As for polygamy, it is probably true that many Muslims are already practicing polygamy but are keeping this under raps until we legitimize the practice.
4X the welfare benefits.
Further proof that when leftists seek to change the world to their specifications everything gets blown up to shreds.
How long can basic rules of inheritance hold out? If I marry my children, can they avoid estate taxes? The government won't like that, and will change the rules.
If a 90 year old guy marries his 40 year old male caregiver, does he get the guy’s social security check upon death of the elder?
And since homosexual marriage came out only 20 or so years after sodomy was thrown out, it is very easy to argue we have to throw out the century plus old laws on polygamy. Especially when you can find Mormons, Muslims and a few atheist group marriages to all go along with it.
What's wrong with a single son with a good job and full coverage health care marrying his poor divorced low SS receiving mother???....They cant say he doesn't “LOVE” her!...he loves her so much he'll save taxes and the cost of care on her...If that isnt a win-win...I don't know what is!.....Let the games begin!!......./s
The existence of marriage doesn’t depend on whatever impossibility civil authorities happen to be using at any one time. To many they haven’t had it right for centuries, for many more ever since no-fault divorce, and now ‘gay marriage.’
Freegards
Imagine a wealthy man, he owns billions of dollars in non liquid assets. He would like to pass those assets to his child without paying inheritance taxes and forcing the break up of the family business. He could marry his son, he loves him after all, and pass that asset tax free and PROBATE free directly to his heir. Simply with a twenty dollar marriage license. No lawyer needed!
I predict lots of small and mid sized business people will have an unquenchable thirst for marriage to their own offspring. After all #Lovewins!
YES HE DOES!
The United States government provided Civil War veterans with a pension for themselves and their spouses for life, as well as their orphaned offspring. The last widows pension payment was made in 2003, today two Civil War pensions are paid monthly to two surviving children of Civil War vets. Both are at deaths door, but are still getting paid.
The Civil War ended 138 years before the last widows payment was made and has been over for 150 years, yet we still pay two pensions.
And, with poly-want-a-cracker marriage coming down the pike, he can marry all his children so he has the option of dividing up his inheritance.
Why don’t we all get married to each other and settle the question once and for all.
“Wait until the argument for three same gendered marriage if polygamy is legalized”
That gives me visions of multiple toads fornicating in a plowed field after a heavy rain. YUK!
Why not polygamy, it’s not even as bad as homo marriage. There’s no argument against it now.

Polygamy and Same-Sex Marriage
David L. Chambers, University of Michigan Law School
Document Type
Article
Publication Date
1997
Abstract
In the American federal system, state governments bear the responsibility for enacting the laws that define the persons who are permitted to marry. The federal government, throughout our history, has accepted these definitions and built upon them, fixing legal consequences for those who validly marry under state law. Only twice in American history has Congress intervened to reject the determinations that states might make about who can marry. The first occasion was in the late nineteenth century when Congress enacted a series of statutes aimed at the Mormon Church, prohibiting polygamy in the Western territories and punishing the Church and those within it who entered into polygamous marriages. The more recent occasion was just last year. In the summer of 1996, Congress adopted the Defense of Marriage Act, which provides that, regardless of state laws, all acts of Congress referring to married persons shall be read as applying only to persons married to a person of the opposite sex.

That would make for good programming on the TLC Network...
How about sologamy, marry yourself - be single and married at the same time. Good parlor trick, and I’m sure SCOTUS can redefine the words to make it so.
