Not sure how allowing for divorce doesnât defile the sacredness of marriageâŚ
Huh. Well, I guess thatâs between them and their god or whatever. I mean, we debated not getting married because gay people werenât allowed toâŚ
So, Nick and Sarah, did those vows of yours contain an âin event of homosexualistsâ clause; or are you going to break the promises you made before god and man in order to, um, uphold the sacred institution of marriage?
Iâm not a fancy contract lawyer or anything; but I think you might not quite understand how this works.
Arenât there places where more than two people can already get married?
Did the psychic shock of those events not echo around the zeitgeist, invalidating the âsacrednessâ of their marriage long ago?
Or is the shared subconscious not permeable to that kind of information past international borders?
Screw polygamy. Iâm really waiting for bestiality.
In other words, they make the sanctity of their vows subject to what the government does
Illogical people and their slippery slopes⌠I need a unicorn chaser or some baby goat videos or something, because these assholes have triggered my misanthropy.
Once you say that marriage is detached from children, [that itâs] just about love[âŚ]
Evidently, in their minds single parents donât exist, and neither do married couples with no children.
You know, as a little kid threatening to hold my breath until I turned blue never really worked out. Their variant seems to me like itâll be just about as effective. But if thatâs the handbasket in which those two want to go to hell, thatâs their prerogative.
Donât forget Loving Day is this Friday â celebration of Loving -vs- Virginia victory back in 1967 which made mixed-race marriages legal throughout the US. (Itâs also Brasilian Valentines).
Another event that I am sure many Xtian couples lamented.
Good riddance. Marriage didnât want you anyway.
But seriously. Itâs pricks like these that ruin any meaning that marriage could have. They are part of the reason my wife and I commonly add a âbut just for tax purposes. haha!â after telling people weâre married.
âOnce you say that marriage is detached from children, [that itâs] just about loveâ
When did we (in Western culture) not say that? [I mean, besides back when marriage was a purely economic transaction.] Has Australia traditionally not allowed senior citizens and others unable to have children to get married?
âour most sacred institutionâ
Iâm pretty sure the stateâs recognition of marriage is a secular thing in Australia, as it is in the US. So unless youâre going for âall religions are sacredâ (which Iâm pretty sure theyâre not - also this would still make atheists getting married problematic for them), then the âsacrednessâ of the marriage is to be found in the specific religion and its rites under which they got married, not the stateâs secular recognition of that sacred institution. The whole âitâs against my religionâ argument doesnât hold water when it comes to gay marriage - presumably every competing religion is also against your religion, and youâre not trying to prevent all of them from getting married, are you?
Yeah, I have less than no sympathy for these people.
I think itâs great that gays and lesbians realize that they donât need to pretend to have a heterosexual relationship to enjoy the benefits of marriage. Nick can finally shack up with his boyfriend, and Sarah with her girlfriend, and their current sham marriage can be dissolved to give each new couple the right to matrimonial bliss.
This would be funnier if they were Roman Catholics.
Perhaps a divorce is a good idea, if their marriage is so meaningless as to be undermined so easily.
Trapped in a marriage with a person you loathe but need a convenient scapegoat for the imminent divorce to mollify your judgmental christian cultist friends?
Just Blame the Gays! â˘.
Wow. This isnât just the nose, itâs cutting off your face to spite your face.
Itâs a sad thing when people who are utterly miserable in their current relationship and hate their partner almost as much as they hate themselves feel compelled to blame others.
If they were really committed to showing how dangerous gay marriage is to traditional institutions, they would have divorced and entered same-sex relationships of their own. I think theyâve shown insufficient commitment to the cause here.
