Gay marriage

[Old Hack]

Why not push it the whole way and let you marry your pets and inanimate objects so you cover everything in one fell swoop? Everyone would be happy then surely?

You do like your trés gay metaphors don't you

If you've stuck your plaything up a girls harris in the name of sexual gratification, is this not the same kind of action? I am fairly sire If MF came home to see his wife mounted by a horse, he'd be a bit more appalled than if he were to see the Blue and Royals all stood in line to get a piece.

Buggery, is not the same as bestiality, and I am kind of sure it's never going to be the same. Nero wasn't considered sexually avant garde for shagging animals, well, and just about everything else

and polygamous marriages after all if 3 consenting adults love each other who are we to deny them the happiness of marriage?

The way I see it, each argument should be put forward on its own merits.

The possibility of other groups wanting non traditional marriages is not a reason to prevent gay marriage.

Wouldn't bother me tbh.

Although marrying someone who is too young to make a sensible choice or an animal who cannot sensibly offer consent etc would be something I would object too.

No problem at all, as long as it is not coerced, and is consensual. Why not.

I personally couldn't imagine the hell that would quickly become. I have one wife, and 3 daughters, and life can be tricky, more wives? No thanks.

Two main reasons:

1) Because no-one is pushing for that. If there was a significant number of people asking for such a change, then it would have to be considered.

2) Because a pet and an inanimate object cannot give consent.

And to expand:

Because gay people are a clear minority group who are excluded from marriage.

Find another group with a demand and make the case. But the merits or otherwise of that case does not affect the merits of this case.

Two good points... but my dog can bark when asked a question. I would like someone to argue that isn't consent.

Do the barks change if he's in agreement or not?

One weekend a man asks his wife if she would like to fishing
"No" She replies "Im watching TV"
"Ok" he says "I will take the dog"
The following weekend he asks her the same "No" She replies "Im watching Eastenders on TV"
"Ok" he says "I will take the dog"
This goes on for a few weeks until one day he gets pissed off. "Look you can either come fishing, give me a blow job or take it up the arse" he shouts
She thinks for a moment and decides to give him a BJ. He then takes the dog fishing.
This goes on for many weeks. " Fishing, blowjob or up the arse?" to which she always chooses blowjob and he always ends up taking his poor dog fishing.
One weekend she goes down to blow him. " ******* HELL WHATS THAT tulipTY SMELL???" she screams
"Oh the dog didnt want to come fishing this weekend " he replies

By contrast to this relatively high rate of divorce, the average marriage in the UK lasts 32 years.

I guess that includes marriages that end in death and those that end in divorce? I wonder what the percentage of marriages that last until death is?
