You yourself said they said nothing of maliciousness, but of procreation.
Can't follow your own claims?
keep it real.
the argument is about precluding application of the loving decision, which the hernandez argued impinged on the intent of the definition - malicious intent or non-malicious. my term is malicious; the hernandez said something like 'bigoted, ignorant'.
at any rate, the quote applies to the application of loving, not gay rights directly, as you'd stretched it.
let's see if,
with concern for reality, this issue entails mutual exclusivity of a prenup and a marriage license:
a marriage license and a marriage contract are not the same thing.
you need a license to have a state-recognized marriage.
you dont need a contract to have a state-recognized marriage.
you dont need to have a license to sign a contract.
you certainly dont need a contract to pull a license
It is not a legal document? It does not bind two parties to terms of an agreement to be enforced by the courts should either party violate its terms?
a non sequitur to the issue of definitions in marriage licenses by way of contracts and marriage licenses being mutually exclusive
in my reality described above.
why not just elect a politician who'd change the definition in the state?
