anyone live there ??


please explain

The Supreme Court there recently ruled that banning gay marriage is fine because the state has an interest in regulating procreation.

If the purpose of marriage is indeed procreation, then it is logical that all marriages should require it, and be dissolved if it does not in fact occur.
The conservatives have a choice: They can accept it (and thus pwn a lot of heterosexual couples) or they can reject it (and thus admit that their reasoning is flawed)
That is the entire point of this initiative.

I should note that we had this discussion on Eventis far before this, once again proving the general superiority of the Eventian people.

Washington courts sometimes do... um, wacky things.

They might as well require the woman to be pregnant before she is allowed to marry.

Maybe the guy should have to prove he doesn't shoot blanks.

This initiative is brilliant. Marriage is for procreation? Fine, lets make heterosexual marriage subject to the same.

Ben Kenobi should like this.

So am I the only one who finds it funny that the so called pro-marriage people actually harm real marriages more then the supposedly anti-marriage gay people?

I suspect you could word that much more clearly, Oerdin.

The proposed proposition does not go far enough.

It should also annul any marriage after the woman goes through menopause or the man becomes impotent.

Would you people just CALM DOWN?!? JUST CALM DOWN!!!
