You have a K2-sized mountain of evidence you're going to have to overcome...
There is nothing to overcome...Gay couples are legally marrying all over America, and those with children, are now married parents with children....Meanwhile, millions of children are being raised by single parents.....
Yes and in the case of being raised by BOTH single parents and "gay couples", children are being stripped of a vital necessity....a mother AND father...Remember, the marriage contract was invented to remedy that ill...not reinforce it...
Says you, citing yourself as the law. Meanwhile, the USSC made it ridiculously clear that no marriage is predicated on children or the ability to have them:
Obergefell v. Hodges said:
This does not mean that the right to marry is less meaningful for those who do not or cannot have children. Precedent protects the right of a married couple not to procreate, so the right to marry cannot be conditioned on the capacity or commitment to procreate.
You can ignore the Supreme Court. But you can't make us or any court ignore them. This is why you keep failing.
As to "gay rights", there is another issue. As found in New York v Ferber (1982), the US Supreme Court Found that even sensitive civil rights issues, should they harm a child physically or psychologically (one could also insert "socially"), are not dominant and must be placed subdominant to children's rights to have their well being preserved:
New York v. Ferber was a supreme court ruling outlawing kiddy porn. It has nothing to do with marriage. The word 'marriage' doesn't even appear in the ruling. Killing your entire argument.
Nor does it find that same sex marriage harms children.Nor does it find that marriage of parents is a minor contract for their children. Nor does it find that children are married to their parents.
You hallucinated all that. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has found that denying same sex marriage hurts children:
Windsor v. US said:
And it humiliates tens of thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives....
....DOMA also brings financial harm to children of same sex couples. It raises the cost of health care for families by taxing health benefits provided by employers to their workers’ same-sex spouses. And it denies or reduces benefits allowed to families upon the loss of a spouse and parent, benefits that are an integral part of family security.
With the Supreme Court reiterrating the harm denying same sex marriage causes children in the Obergefell ruling.
Obergefell v. Hodges said:
A third basis for protecting the right to marry is that it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of
childrearing, procreation, and education. See, e.g., Pierce v. Society of Sisters , 268 U. S. 510. Without the recognition, stability, and predictability marriage offers, children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser. They also suffer the significant
material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated to a more difficult and uncertain family life. The marriage laws at issue
thus harm and humiliate the children of same-sex couples.
And finally, the Supreme Court found that same sex marriage benefits children:
Obergefell v. Hodges said:
By giving recognition and legal structure to their parents’ relationship, marriage allows children “to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives.” Marriage also affords the permanency and stability important to children’s best interests.
And affirm again that same sex marriage benefits children, recognizing gays and lesbians as creating loving, supportive families:
Obergefell V. Hodges said:
As all parties agree, many same-sex couples provide loving and nurturing homes to their children, whether biological or adopted. And hundreds of thousands of children are presently being raised by such couples. Most States have allowed gays and lesbians to adopt, either as individuals or as couples, and many adopted and foster children have same-sex parents. This provides powerful confirmation from the law itself that gays and lesbians can create loving, supportive families.
The Supreme Court contradicts you 4 times. And never backs any of the hapless pseudo-legal gibberish about marriage. So you ignore the Supreme Court.
But why would a rational person ignore the Supreme Court destroying your entire argument? Especially in a discussion of law.
Remember, you're nobody. And have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course, naturally. Because it fits the "children aren't implicit parts of the marriage contract" (new spin, because they plead the opposite to get Windsor & Obergefell) neo-gay narrative.. Wow, you guys are legally very VERY ...shall we say..."flexible"...
