    What do you think marriage benefits for gays are?
    Currently, government provides benefits for gay sex.

    No one is saying that the legal framework can't be spelled out (discrimination against race, gender, etc etc), and the biology of mammalian reproduction explained. We're saying there's no need for more than that. And there's certainly no need to discuss sexuality as a topic unto itself .. not ever. It's PRIVATE and PERSONAL, and a function of family and broader ethno-religious culture - which will be different for every child.

    And once again .. this stuff has nothing to do with academics, therefore is none of a schools' business.

    No
    I’m not on thin ice. I’m pointing out comparing consensual acts between adults to raping a child is retarded.

    They were granted with the expectation that they will, that being the customary result of marriage.

    Do they throw rice at gay weddings? It would be the height of irony if they do, rice being a symbol of fertility.

    So what? Marital benefits aren’t based on whether or not a married couple has kids

    There must be laws in place to prevent institutional discrimination, but we are free as individuals to 'discriminate' in any way we like, at the personal level. Indeed, if we were all to start thinking and behaving alike on such matters, it would signify our regress into either theocracy, or some kind of totalitarian state.

    There is no stipulation that couples must have kids.
    I’ve been to countless wedding including my own...never witnessed rice being thrown

    I was having a civil exchange with Political Master and then you chime in with this.

    Gay marriage is legal. See SCOTUS for further issues with legalities.

    Shall I list my spouse's, my Dad's and my brothers' ranks, time served, and the number of combat missions they flew while serving in the military??
    Post up you and your family's military credentials and let's compare.

    If you abhor gay marriage, then stick with a hetersexual marriage and you'll be just fine.

    A gay couple, who have been together for over 40 years, married, whether "legal" or not, is not a perversion.

    A same sex couple is under no obligation to have sex in order for their marriage to be recognized. Two paraplegic gays could marry and their marriage be considered a legal one.

    For that matter, a same-sex couple doesn't even need to be homosexual. There's nothing to stop two straight men or women from marrying each other. It's not very likely but they could and could have their reasons for doing so just as gays and lesbians used to marry each other in the past to provide cover when homosexuality was illegal.

    Still not required. The conflation is an assumed thing, not one born of fact. As to whether it is a benefit to society or not, that is a subjective value. There are still people that feel allowing interracial marriage has not been as benefit to society, and others believe it has been.

    A family can be as small as two people. Once married they have started a family. After that it is only a matter of how big it gets.


    Why? It's not like we have a dangerously low birth rate or an excessive death rate. Especially in this day and age, why do all couples need to have children?

    Minority status has nothing to do with that. An employer can no sooner refuse to hire you due to being white than they can for you being black.

    Even if there could ever be such a thing...
    ...no federal gov't entity has the power to legalize it.
    See the Constitution for why Obergefell is phony as a 3$ bill.
    What the hell for?
    I don't need your advice, so thanks for nothing.
    Of course it is, just as a father/daughter marriage is, even if it's childless.

    Damn right it benefits society. Between all the gay men and young guys hopelessly addicted to porn, I date all kinds of hot young women.

    Men complaining about this must have a problem being rejected by women.

    Erwin Schrödinger invented Quantum Mechanics through the inspiration he received through dating hot young women. Being a physicist myself, I felt obligated to follow a similar course, for the sake of humanity.

    Save the world: Give a physicist a sugar baby.

    Reality is hard for you. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 states.
    That military jab fell flat, eh? Gee, I am shocked.
    You certainly need something to take the edge off.
    Gay marriage is not a perversion.

    No doubt it appears so to enemies thereof.
    a glaring imbecility, now and forever.
    Please, you have neither ken nor care for the law. All you know is that legal authority figures tell you what you want to hear, and you don't give a damn for anything else.
    Maybe that'll teach you to try to draw me into an argument over nothing.
    I'll be the judge of that.
    Then neither is incestuous marriage. Right?

    I did read your post and there is nothing in it but hot air. So, I repeat: "What "special privileges" do I get?"

    Marriage benefits are special privileges if they are provided by the government for a gay sex that means gays get special privileges for no reason.

    Those are outlier cases, but in general government provides benefits for gay sex.
    In case of heterosexual couples marriage is a way to regulate procreation.

    Yea, but those benefits provided for heterosexual couples is a regulatory insurance for possible procreation.
    Gays get those benefits solely for their sex activity.

    The question is why only gays get benefits for their sexual deviation?
