Marriage is contract law, written by the states and administered by state courts.
Would you please provide a copy of one of these contracts?
I am specifically looking for the essential elements which must exist in any contract for such to bind one to another.
A marriage requires license... thus only those who are qualified within the scope of that license are qualified for such.
What is the basis of the license?
If Marriage is available to anyone for any reason... then what would be the purpose of a license?
(Reader, you're going to find that the Advocacy to Normalize Sexual Abnormality will come to advise you that the notion of 'license' itself is being challenged here. Thus in order to qualify individuals of the same gender to 'marry', the ANSA must delude the concept of marriage itself, to that which is roughly meaningless, even as they walk the tightrope to prevent you from realizing that such is the case.)
Consider this as you wait for the non-responsive response to come, since the ANSA has come, how many times have you heard 'What business does government have to be involved in Marriage?'.
Which means, what business do you and I have in establishing standards?
What Business do you and I have in the viability of our selves, our families, our neighborhood, our community, our state and our nation?
The Cult ANSA is that only THEY have any business deciding what marriage means and they represent at most 3% of the population.
So in effect, if you live in a community with 100 people, the odds are that 3 of them are ANSA... now in your own experience, would you say that 3 people in your community have a right to determine the standards of your community?
ANSA says 'of course not, because we are the majority'.
But every time the issue is voted on, ANSA is no where NEAR a majority... which is why ANSA has to use the judicial system to overturn the LAW that established the marriage standard, to which ANSA's response is, "The Majority has no right to determine the rights of the minority...".
Which is true... but the majority does have the right to establish the standards by which we must all abide. And we do that through LEGISLATION.
Understand, that homosexuals are not being told that they cannot marry. Homosexuals are being told that to marry, they must do so with a person of the opposite gender; just like EVERYONE ELSE.
They'll tell you that the JUDICIARY decided that THAT is not true, because 'Legislation used to say that blacks could not marry whites'; which is true.
But "Black" or the genetic composition which produces black people, is NOT BEHAVIOR... Homosexuality IS BEHAVIOR, which has absolutely NO GENETIC component.
We... each of us have a serious interests in the standards of behavior we accept and we do not accept. And we sometimes make mistakes in what we decide is behavior worthy of accepting.
And Reader, we made a huge mistake when we decided to lift the laws forbidding sodomy... because that sent the signal that we no longer had an interests in setting standards for all manner of things, not the least of which is marriage.
Now let's wait and see if the ANSA comes... and how they'll shape it, given the argument which exposes their pat response as deceitful drivel.
