RE: Now that Gay Marriage is Legal in the US, will Polygamy Eventually Become Legal?
No, they will not because the main people pushing for it in the US are Mormon fundamentalists, who they hate.
Plus they know damn well it would lead to massive fraud in people marrying in order to pay less in taxes, criminals marrying to avoid being compelled to testify against one another, etc. etc.
They know they are hypocritical on this but don't care.
I think bans on incestual marriage will go, though, if they're not already legally invalid. How can they muster any argument against gay incestual marriage since the two involved can't produce mutant children?
They opened the pandora's box for the legitimization of degeneracy the likes of which the world has only rarely seen.

RE: Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage in the United States
There are multiple issues of significance wound up, interconnected, overlapping and confused in this one topic. Just a few of them include:
* The morality/immorality of homosexuality.
* The social impact (or non-impact) of homosexuality.
* The political agenda(s) driving the homosexual agenda.
* Individual rights versus governmental authority.
* States rights versus federal authority.
* The impact of the Supreme Court's actual decision in this case.
The discussion/argument cannot advance until everyone understands what it is they are arguing about. This guy is arguing individual rights, that guy is trumpeting morality and the guy over there is talking about the slippery slope, so it's all just noise and the "discussion" goes nowhere.
To me, one of the most important pieces of this is that the Supreme Court has made the definition of "marriage" subject to the whim of any federal judge on any bench anywhere. If your response to that is, "well, two guys getting married doesn't really affect me or my life," then you (a) we aren't discussing the same thing and (b) can't see anything past the "feels" (i.e., talking points) that the TV is babbling at you.
This and the Obamacare decision mark the open acknowledgement of a significant shift of power in this country, and I'd argue that the three-branch system of government designed by the Constitution has now been reduced to two branches, with the judicial no longer serving as an arbiter of rights but now firmly ensconced as an arm of the legislative branch. The executive branch has been sucking up legislative authority left and right as well, so we're not too far from a one-branch system of government.
Gentlemen, we are the animals in the barn, and we're watching the pigs in the house put on pants and decide how they are going to split up the cigars. The horse is on the way to the glue factory and, yeah, we're all equal, only they are much, much more equal than us.
But I'm sure whatever Planet Ham tweeted out about what someone else Facebooked her that TMZ reported last night about what Kim Kardashian said about gay rights is what we really should be focused on...

RE: Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage in the United States
I've been amusing (or depressing) myself this morning in trying to speculate just how all of this bullshit would ever pan out in divorce court.
So you've got, say, two "married" men or two "married" women.
How will the Courts decide who gets what? Is one going to pay alimony or support to another?
Usually the decision is very easy for them: if you're the man, you get screwed, no matter what. But what are they going to do now?
My prediction:
If there are two gay males, the government will screw BOTH of them. Because they're men, and naturally they deserve it, just by being men. The government will make them both pay the government.
If there are two gay females, the government will GIVE them BOTH benefits. And you, the public, will have to pay for it. The government will REWARD them, because they're women.
The requirements of gender-based ideological imperatives will override everything else.

RE: Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage in the United States
http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/how-same-s...d-society/
“Just as the gay marriage movement peaks, so does a debate about whether gay identity is dimming, overtaken by its own success,” New York Times reporter and CBS News contributor Jodi Kantor wrote in a Page One article. Kantor joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss her article, "Historic Day for Gays, but Twinge of Loss for an Outsider Culture."
Excerpts from Kantor's article:
Quote:...
“What do gay men have in common when they don’t have oppression?” asked Andrew Sullivan, one of the intellectual architects of the marriage movement. “I don’t know the answer to that yet.”
...
“There is something wonderful about being part of an oppressed community,”
...
The culture is not being gay, just like for feminists it's not about being a woman and for Rev Sharpton it's not about being black.
It's about being a victim.
Make no mistake, their identity crisis will not mean the fight is over and they'll lay down their weapons. It means they will continue looking for more battles to win, for more vengeance to pour out.

My prediction: The judge will decide (perhaps unconsciously) which of the two gaymates is the "husband" and which is the wife. One will have a more masculine or assertive role, the other a more feminine or subservient role. The judge will then punish the "husband" and reward the "wife."
You can take the gender out of the marriage but you can't take out the way two people in a marriage relate to each other, which will be husband and wife even if they are both men or women. That's why when the man is a beta and the woman is the breadwinner, she eventually starts pegging him, figuratively or literally. Its just the way shit works.
And that is also why "gay marriage" is bullshit.

From what I've been told by a Dutch friend on how they handle gay/lesbian divorce in the Netherlands, it's based on income levels.

From the article
Quote:Jewish leaders in the media are in large part responsible for American acceptance of gay marriage, Vice President Biden said Tuesday night.
“I believe what affects the movements in America, what affects our attitudes in America are as much the culture and the arts as anything else,” he said at a Democratic National Committee reception for Jewish American Heritage Month. He cited social media and the sitcom "Will and Grace," giving Jews a large part of the credit for both.
“I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it’s in Hollywood or social media are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry," he said. "The influence is immense, the influence is immense. And, I might add, it is all to the good. ”
The vice president also praised Jewish contributions to science, immigration reform, the civil-rights movement, the arts, the law and to feminism.
"I think you vastly underestimate the impact you've had on the development of this nation," he said. "We’re a great country because of the contributions and most importantly because of Jewish heritage and the values you brought."
The praise was so profuse that New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait found it worrisome, noting that white supremacists are already taking Biden's speech as evidence of a secret Jewish conspiracy.
