It would take statutory law to force courts to recognize contracts relating to the other aspects of marriage, like grounds for dissolution, eligibility for spousal support, child custody, or child support.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023125641719686613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-9965432499882333842011-12-29T17:46:23.436-05:002011-12-29T17:46:23.436-05:00Samson: I, too, have a gay friend, one that was q...Samson: I, too, have a gay friend, one that was quite close when we lived in the same city.

But traditionalists must overcome their reflexive distaste for pre-nups: if it is "planning for divorce", then so is legal marriage itself.Dr. Φhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086783503820477029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-84938593763274500492011-12-29T11:30:31.460-05:002011-12-29T11:30:31.460-05:00Private marriage contracts used to be opposed by s...Private marriage contracts used to be opposed by so-cons, and lauded by the homos, because they were seen as allowing homos to set marriage terms. <br /><br />Since the homos have essentially won the battle, riding on the coat tails of the feminists, giving us Marriage 2.1, I think it is time we revisited the idea of private marriage contracts. Why should we be forcibly dragged along their grand experiment in meaningless, legally-non-binding relationships?<br /><br />Private marriage contracts would allow traditionalists to have the traditionalist marriages they desire, while the deviants can have all the play-marriages they want. Since we stopped enforcing laws against the homosexual act itself, there is really no logical end to their demand for "full" equality.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023125641719686613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-5885708281440351622011-12-29T09:23:14.752-05:002011-12-29T09:23:14.752-05:00Widespread Homosexual mariage?

I'll preface this by saying that while my opposition to homosexuality is no secret, some of my best friends really are gay - okay, they're not, but I really do have gay acquaintances that I like. <br /><br />I say that to say that based on what I know of him, I find Dan Savage to be almost indescribably creepy and quite possibly demon-haunted, a lot like a guy I knew in medical school who was the most pro-homosexual, pro-abortion person I've ever met. I don't know that I can even stand to watch Savage speak - I'm sure it will send too many shivers down my spine.<br /><br />You make it sound like a good exchange, though. Is it really fair and non-acrimonious?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
