[r3volution]

they must not have donated to his campaign .

Yeah, he stopped wal-mart from moving in too because their prices are too low and they don't pay their employees "enough".

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

His opposition to same sex marriage is despicable. Using the force of government to outlaw peaceful, consensual actions between individuals is wrong.

How can government "outlaw" that religious ceremony? Doesn't the 1st A prevent that? Or are you talking about the government privilege of licensure?

Yes, I'm talking about the government not treating people equality in terms of licensure. I'm obviously against any government involvement in marriage whatsoever, but as long as they are at the moment, people should be treated equally.

First I heard of this...

Then do you have a line to be drawn?

Can I marry my dog and be equally recognized by the state as a heterosexual couple?

Based on my life-experience gays aren't missing out on anything. Bringing the state into your private life is the worst thing you can do; at least gay couples are allowed to stay together. Any signs of polygamy and you're goin' to the slammer.

That doesn't make any sense. You're either for government involvement, or you're against it. There's no "at this moment" policy. Get rid of state licensure of hetero marriage, don't support state licensure of same-sex marriage. There's nothing despicable about wanting traditional marriage to remain traditional marriage. Has he said he would support state licensure at all? If no, then don't judge.

I would draw the line at any 2 consenting adults. That means no children and no animals. The law doesn't and shouldn't protect animals.

tell that to every couple getting married by the year. Just because it's bad for them doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to make a choice. This is like a stoner telling kids who want marijuana legalized "you're not missing out, the worst thing you can do is let the government know what you're smoking".

Why not one or three, or four?

 

[BlackTerrel]

This is all bluster right? He can't actually do this can he?

By the way Chick-Fil-A is awesome. Politics or otherwise.

Sure he can.

Or at least lean on the city council to ban them or restrict them or ordinance them out.

What are you talking about?

My point is that state-sanctioned marriage sucks. It shouldn't be a choice to begin with.

 

[Nickels]

Why not one or three, or four?

I don't see why not. But I'd probably still limit 1 on 1 per registration for simplicity. If you want 3 people together, you can register them separately, one at a time.

 

[oyarde]

I say this , why would Chick Fila want in Boston ? And , what is more popular in America , East Coast Mayors or chicken sandwiches ? If there is a winner here , I can pick it ...

People shouldn't have choice because you said the choice sucks, got it.

Are you saying the state should sanction marriage?
