Wait until the common law gay marriage arguments show up to interfere with settled estates.

LOL! The GAYstapo had such great intentions. They only wanted to use Obergefell as a tool to bludgeon traditional Christians and other opponents into submission.

Sodomites will claim that the same rules don't apply to them, as usual. Watch and see.

Amazingly, they'll inevitably use the issue that they harped on, children, to push for their perverted definition to now disclaim the reason: "We can't naturally have children and so the issues surrounding custody don't apply."

I'm betting these gays aren't in a hurry to give away their assets to the first legal boink that comes along.

I wonder what arrangements Ellen and Rosie and Elton have made....since marriage does not automatically deem assets as "ours".

You need a lawyer and a contract...and then there are no guarantees. Judges have discretion.

They have to go through some legal adoption procedure. Caring for children or saying “he’s mine” is not ownership.

Take care in what you wish for. Your wish may be granted.

And waking up to discover that a nasty and painful set of bite marks are now to be found on your gluteus maximus.

Pretty hard to get those worms back into the can.

That wasn't the case with Lisa Miller and her dyke 'lover' Jenkins, though. They only entered a "domestic partnership" in Vermont, and yet, the child that Lisa birthed with an anonymous donor was deemed Jenkins' child also by proximity. So much so that Jenkins successfully claimed the right to visitation, and then sole custody.

Look up the CASE LAW and you will find you are WRONG, if you “HOLD” that a child is yours, even though not biologically related or by any other means, the COURTS in any and ALL CUSTODY CASES will make it so and you will PAY FOR SUPPORT.

I found this out during my own custody hearing 20 years ago when the court granted me Custody of my ex’s Son, as well as my daughter.

Typically, a lot of homos are wealthy. Imagine then, their surprise when one day their current ‘houseboy’ walks in with a lawyer claiming half of everything he owns........................

“since marriage does not automatically deem assets as “ours”.”

In some states it does just that.

The first couple married in America are all ready divorced. They just have to figure out who’s the woman and then screw the other queer.

Saw a political cartoon years ago.

1st panel, two guys at a bar, 1st guy, “I think they should allow gays to marry....”

2nd panel, 2nd guy, eyes wide, “that’s pretty open minded coming from a conservative...”

3rd panel “divorce lawyer like yourself.”

Ooooh! - I’m eating a bowl of Ramen noodles, so mentioning WORMS is yukky! (Sigh) I didn’t put in the whole seasoning pack; too much salt! - A moot point now; but I think you meant well.

Yes, Goodrich’s fake “marriage” didn’t even make it two years.

Ah, the continued fiction that courts pass laws. Guys calling themselves married can only be legislated.

Many years ago, there was a movie musical called The Gay Divorcee. Of course, gay had a somewhat different meaning then, but the possibilities here are numerous.

generally the requirements are that the couple are both legally able to marry (they both freely consent, are not already married to other people, are of sound mind, and are of legal age>

I think I see the loophole here.

While the law differs from state to state, generally the requirements are that the couple are both legally able to marry (they both freely consent, are not already married to other people, are of sound mind, and are of legal age or have their parents’ consent)...

Who says all these restrictions exist? Used to be that men couldn't marry men but that was deemed unfair. So what if three people want to get married, if they all consent who is to say it's not permissible under the current Supreme Court logic of "go with the zeitgiest and let legal precedent be damned!"?

It's all just one unelected judge away from being the law of the land, permanently and irrevocably.
