<< Why Can't My Moms Marry? >>

They can -- and they also may.

Just line 'em up a couple of fellers and Bob's yah uncle!

Dear Mathew,

Being an honors student, you can probably grasp some simple concepts.
Your moms can't marry for the simple reason some things are not possible unless you supend reality, or pretend to.

For instance, the mommy who plays "pretend" daddy can't get circumcized. No matter how much she would like to. You can even pretend and call it circumcision, but it ain't. You can pass laws saying that it is, but it ain't.

Suppose one of your mommies loves dogs. She lives in a community where dogs are not allowed. So she decides to call it a cat. Why should that not work?
If you can accept that it doesn't matter what she wants, or what she decides to call it, it's still a dog, then things become clearer. And the restriction still applies.
Toleration means accepting pervert behavior which doesn't hurt anyone else. It can not mean that the rest of humanity has to redefine reality for the oddballs. That's the way it is.

I was not going to give my organizer to my dad because I didn't have one.

Son, you DO have a dad. I'm sorry your "moms" never told you that. I'm also sorry that you've been raised in a household and culture that tells you that two women living as a couple is perfectly normal. It's natural for children to assume that their families are perfectly normal. Yours is not. There will likely come a time in your life when you look back and and understand many of the things you question now.

"Maybe poor Matthew didn't think this through - but even if his moms were to marry, he still doesn't get to chisel dad into his next father's day gift."

Don't you know how utterly hateful logic is?

I've wondered if a man who was once a woman has ever married a woman who was once a man.

this blockhead is truely clueless. Only one of his parents
wants to marry someone of the same sex. The other parent
probably gagged to death when he thought of his wife and
mother to his child leaving him to shack up with another woman.IT is as described an abomination worthy of death.

If this 17 year old really wrote this, I would wager he embellished quite a bit about the wood block part, solely to put an emotional spin on the story. The "aww, shucks, I feel sorry for that kid" goes a long way in convincing people.

Well, I feel sorry for that kid, but not for the way he wants me to. I feel sorry that the kid has lived in a messed up "family". We are supposed to teach our children good solid morals, and our moral code has always been based on the Bible. God says homosexuality is a sin. By allowing homosexuals to marry, we woud be saying it's okay to sin. No way I will ever support that.

Hateful? Maybe. Necessary? Yes.

And yes we are all made in the image of God -but we are not all children of God. some are children of the evil one.and they are of the vine of sodom and of Gomorrah. Only those who hear and obey are of Christs' family according to Johns' Gospel.

They can [marry], of course. Any available, willing man they choose.

< snort > That could be problematic.

You must love them to the depth of their soles!

"Who spends weeks sanding a block of wood?

Maybe an honors student; maybe an avid athlete....but, dummer than a rock...weeks to sand a block of wood? Evidently can't read a lick from a library book on how to finish wood.

HHmmmmm?This kid will probably wind up as a judge in Canada, vegan, with a boyfriend driving an SUV.... LOL!

I agree with you on most things...except the "children of the devil" part. I don't think the devil has children. I think there are believers and unbelievers. But this is a rabbit trail on this thread.

Actually, they CAN marry, just like ANY other female.

ANY of age female can marry ANY single, willing male.

"All of us are made in the image of God, are we not?"

Yes! And it takes a male and female to make us. You may not have a Dad, but you do have a Father. Your complaint should be with the adult females in your household. I don't know your situation, but if either one of the women knew who your father is, they have done you serious harm by not letting you know.
