If a man can marry a man

[Concerned American]

Then someone should be allowed to marry a dead person. Laws always mention persons, but it doesn't say these persons have to be alive.

The current laws forbidding the marriage between a live person and a dead person are discriminatory just like the laws in some jurisdictions that forbid two people of the same sex from marrying. Therefore these laws are discriminatory and need to be struck down. Homosexuals have the right to marriage like heterosexuals. In a similar vein, dead people have the right to marriage just like live people.

I guess if the dead can vote for democrats, they can file suits in court as well, eh?

But but but

He didn’t hear any “no.”

Whereas two gay men do say "yes", I guess that's one step above necrophilia.

The marriage proceedings can be initiated by the partner who is alive,

 

[Concerned American]

Marriage is a contract. Contracts require consent of all parties. Not certain how that can be "overcome."

The dead can vote for democrats. That is consent. Hmmmm.

Naw it takes two to tango.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Naw it takes two to tango.

We need to make special concessions for the dead partner. They cannot initiate legal proceedings due to being dead, that's not their fault.

This is dumb.

Two questions: How are you going to get your dead boyfriend to say "I do", and do you really want to kiss your new bride?

The lack of a pulse is probably his best chance for a romantic relationship...

 

[MayorQuimby]

This is dumb.

I am sure your opinion is worth something...to someone...somewhere.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Why do you give me the satisfaction of knowing that I triggered you.

If a man can marry a man​

Whose gonna do the dishes?

Paper plates... paper cups... plastic cutlery... microwave food...

Certainly is another take on stopping off for a cold one.

Maybe two. Each one has to be alive in your scenario.

Well it doesn't seem like that model presents a possibility for the deceased to agree to any sort of voluntary association in the matter, Mayor.

You couldn't "trigger" me if you tried.

Two steps above necrophilia. Homosexuality sure is awesome, aint it.

Go back and read the thread, I already addressed the issue of consent.

You couldn't "trigger" me if you tried.

Are you sure? Cause you were crying about how I could only find romance with a dead person. That's triggered-ness, lol.

Keep telling yourself that, perhaps it will help you sleep at night.

I wonder how deep it goes? What if it’s two dead men that want to be joined in blessed union?

You just insist on giving me the satisfaction.
