No they can't. Limiting the number of people in a contract violates no rights. Limiting it based on gender does.
There's also a group called NAMGLA which, by the same standards of critical thinking, means all heterosexuals are in political "bed" with them also?
not sure what your saying, are you saying religious rights should not trump law? the kim davis's of the world would disagree with you... .

People are saying it. Congress has nothing to do with everyone else.
The trouble with the Ben Carson piece cited at the beginning of this thread is he says this: Well, their (Muslim's) god says polygamy is ok (and so do certain Mormon's believe and so should certain fundamentalist Jews -according to the OT- and who knows which other religious groups?) So why is it his "word of god" takes precedence over everybody else's? I don't care what anybody's views on polygamy are, that's a pretty lame argument if shored up with a "freedom of religion" perspective on the Constitution. Maybe that's why the laws which affect us all should be based as closely as possible on a secular basis and not on the whims of what one individual with one religious bias thinks "god" wants?
Oh my! I didn't say Ben said gays were polygamists....now you have misconstrued, misunderstood, misrepresented everything and anything I post . Post a question or post a fact or............give up.
1. Callin BS. Prove your assertion 2. Not yielding to the gay agenda is not the same as wanting to remove their rights. If you were honest with yourself you'd admit that they want more rights and protections than the rest of us.
Were you not against the gay couple getting what was owed them at the bakery? - - - Updated - - - No, they dont, they want EQUALITY. Tell you what...ask your sister if she wants more rights.
If you think people in perverse relationships don't violate the rights of others, you don't understand what rights are. Yes it is. Neither, I suppose, did Kinsey's pro-perversion propaganda affect future generations in any "measurable" way; but if you don't think it was a contributing factor in the formation of the despotic federal government we now have, then pilgrim, you don't think too good. Then I'd say bland assurances about the consent of everyone involved are pretty retarded. Wouldn't you? Of course it does. Everyone who understands what marriage is understands that. All of that obviously proceeds from the inclinations of the parents, which we may rest assured are corrupt in some degree when they presume to bring children into the world under some other arrangement than traditional marriage.
` Yes, NAMBLA used to be associated with the Gay movement but that was a mistake and corrected by the mid 1980's. That was 30 years ago. If you are implying that it's still a factor now, that's illogical...among other things.
One could argue that legalizing mixed-race marriage contracts in Loving v Virginia in 1964 opened the floodgates in the US to ending gender discrimination in marriage contracts in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. However, advocates of group, inter-species, and marriage contracts with inanimate objects will be disappointed to know that none of those have ever been legitimated, in either the majority of states that recognized miscegenistic and gay unions before the Supreme Court upholding an American's equal rights in the matter, nor in any of the nations where gender discrimination has ended. Marriage remains a contract between two consenting adults (regardless of race or gender) in: The Netherlands (2000) Belgium (2003) Canada (2005) Spain (2005) South Africa (2006) Norway (2009) Sweden (2009) Argentina (2010) Iceland (2010) Portugal (2010) Denmark (2012) Brazil (2013) England and Wales (2013) France (2013) New Zealand (2013) Uruguay (2013) Luxembourg (2014) Scotland (2014) Finland: (signed 2015, effective 2017) United States 2015 Ireland: (2015) For those upset by gender equality in advanced nations, these are the parts of the planet where homosexuals are still persecuted as criminals: .
and You seem to be nitpicking small quotes from the links I posted eh? Also are you denying that within the recent years of the gay surge that peds aren't getting more platforms?
I prefer to think of it more along the lines of "giving them enough rope." There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the US? Wow, who would've known that was possible in a nation of around 350,000,000? We must be using Timelord technology! Awesome!!
` That was 30 years ago. Are you stating, as a fact, that NAMBLA has any influence now within the LGBT? I'd love to see any facts you have justifying that assertion then.
Look at the response to your last nitpicked post above. - - - Updated - - - boom. and nothing like this was said at all.
` Wow how convenient. You've been diving for petty things that happened 30 years ago that are no longer factors with the LGBT then accuse me of "nit-picking facts I pointed it out as part of written history? You are a funny guy but beyond that, I question your ability to discern facts and logically discuss an issue.
I am having trouble following. Can someone please explain how we can place limits on marriage without discriminating against a life style? Part #2, when do we completely remove the language of marriage from all law, stop all the social engineering, and treat it all as a contract?
