It's discriminatory and unconstitutional.
For what it's worth, I don't think the government should be involved in marriage in any way, shape, or form. States should issue civil union licenses, IRS 1040 forms should refer to one's civil partner, and medical decisions should be deferred to one's civil partner. In that model, a marriage would be a purely symbolic act between you, your partner, and whatever higher power you believe in. Not the state.
Also, out of curiosity, which of the many biblical models of marriage do you subscribe to?
- nikcheerla 10y agoWho are you asking? I'm atheist, and I don't think any other posts in this discussion ever reference 'biblical models of marriage".
- aaronbrethorst 10y agoWhat do you think 'one man and one woman' is if not a biblical model of marriage?
- nikcheerla 10y agoI was just discussing what other people believe. I completely agree that the government should be out of the marriage business anyways.
- gakada 10y agoIt's a Hindu model of marriage, a Chinese model of marriage, … Hell, even the Ancient Greeks didn't practice gay marriage (as far as I know!)
- pandaman 10y agoIt's called "monogamy" and existed in such biblical places as the USSR and PRC.
