Why Gay Marriage Advocates Must Support Triad Marriages

Modern Conservative ^ | May 12, 2009 | Gina L. Diorio

Why draw the line there, what about inter-species marriage.
If someone really loves their dog or Goldfish, I say go for it.

[patriciaruth]

I believe there already is a good word for marriage between more than one participant...

Polygamy.

We should all refuse to use this trendy new word and just use the one that’s been around a while.

[patriciaruth]

I love lamb.

[Netizen]

Or maybe you believe monogamy is best for raising children. Ah, but wait a minute, research has actually shown that the healthiest environment for children is in a two-parent home being raised by a mother and a father (note the gender difference there).

This is all about being able to have children. Either through adoption of via that third person.

Two men can't produce a child not can two women, but if a third 'opposite sex' person is added to the mix, then can.

[matthew fuller]

"Some of you will think I’m crazy for positing this necessary connection. If so, I’m glad. I hope it will inspire you to examine the arguments and try for yourself to arrive at a logical and rational basis for opposing triad marriages while supporting same-sex marriages."

Pedophile and nambla marriages coming to a location near you soon!

[Tamar1973]

IF people are mentally ill enough to want multiple in laws, more power to them. Yikes!

[Elsie]

Yes, I’ll say it again: If you support gay marriage, it is impossible for you rationally to oppose triad marriages.

Logically?

[Elsie]

Less than 18 months ago, Sasha Lessin and Janet Kira Lessin gathered before their friends near their home in Maui, and proclaimed their love for one another. Nothing unusual about that—Sasha, 68, and Janet, 55—were legally married in 2000. Rather, this public commitment ceremony was designed to also bind them to Shivaya, their new 60-something "husband." Says Sasha: “I want to walk down the street hand in hand in hand in hand and live together openly and proclaim our relationship. But also to have all those survivor and visitation rights and tax breaks and everything like that.”

 

Besides - neither of us wanted the job of bug killing or lawn mowing or taking out the trash...

Houston: We have a problem!

 1 Timothy 3:2-3
 2.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
 3.  not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

 

 

1 Timothy 3:12
   A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.

 

 

 Titus 1:6
   An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

 

  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

 

 

[Elsie]

Well I asked the wife if we have a 3 way marriage...

Perhaps your GENDER choice wasn't clear!

[Elsie]

Wife, husband, husband, pig, dog, hamster, wife....now if we could just get the pig, dog and hamster to say “I do” we can all be happy as clams...oh wait, we must include the clams.

( A scene at City Hall in San Francisco )

 

 

"Next."

"Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."

"Names?"

"Tim and Jim Jones."

"Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance."

"Yes, we're brothers."

"Brothers? You can't get married."

"Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?"

"Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!"

"Incest?" No, we are not gay."

"Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?"

"For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other.
Besides, we don't have any other prospects."

"But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've been
denied equal protection under the law. If you are not gay, you can get
married to a woman."

"Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have.
But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman.

I want to marry Jim."

 

"Are you going to discriminate against us just
because we are not gay?"

"All right, all right. I'll give you your license.

 

 

 

 

 

Next."

"Hi. We are here to get married."

"Names?"

"John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."

"Who wants to marry whom?"

"We all want to marry each other."

"But there are four of you!"

"That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane
loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and
me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express
our sexual preferences in a marital relationship."

"But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples."

"So you're discriminating against bisexuals!"

"No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's
just for couples."

"Since when are you standing on tradition?"

"Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."

"Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more
the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution
guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!"

"All right, all right.

 

 

 

 

 

 Next."

"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."

"In what names?"

"David Deets."

"And the other man?"

"That's all. I want to marry myself."

"Marry yourself? What do you mean?"

"Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry
the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return."

"That does it! I quit!! You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"

The slippery slope is if you allow gay marriage, polygamy cannot be far behind it.

[Elsie]

Have all the homosexual people in the entire world, on a specific day, at a specific time; raise their right hand and say, “I do”.

I hear this has already been done...
