But if a couple from NY goes to VT to get a legal marriage (9f Vt moves that way) and then moves to NJ, NJ is out of luck
But if a couple from Washington goes to VT to get a legal marriage, it's of no use to them back home in Washington.
I understand what you're trying to do, Karen, but instead of perpetually looking for loopholes and exceptions, .
I'm not looking for loopholes. I'm trying to do a substantive analysis of the real effects of various options. It seems to me that the best scenario would be if various states could do their own thing without affecting other states so that we could get some data and experience with this thing so society could make an informed judgment. I'm looking for some cause to believe that that could happen.
I think you need to accept the substantial damage to society that same sex marriage would cause and acept that society has a right to protect itself and its children
Bullshit! <gggg> I'll consider that when you either show me evidence of your conclusion and demonstrate that the position you espouse does not spring primarily from inertia, bigotry, paternalism, arrogance, bullying, ignorance, selfishness, religious scripts, hypocrisy, mean-spiritedness, etc. etc. Instead, perhaps you're the one who just needs to accept that this is not the knee-jerk big deal you're making of it. I still haven't heard any more substantial argument than "it offends people." |
