What if three or more homosexuals wanted the state to call the sexual relationship they have "marriage"?

Given how difficult it seems to be to get members of the abominable WBC arrested and jailed, I fail to see the danger you do.
Laws are enforced selectively. Westboro Baptists get a free pass while others don’t. Probably they are tolerated because they make Christians look bad, and WBC actually serves the “gay” agenda better than anyone since “gay” activists want everyone to see “gays” as victims of hate.
 
Or since a “bisexual” is attracted to both sexes, what if he or she wanted to “marry” one of each at the same time? This would seem like the next step. What would stop them besides a law that we now know can change with enough financial and propaganda support?
Nothing can stop it. It will happen. Sooner than anyone thinks. Only those who lie or who are deceived would think it impossible.
 
Contraception led to increased rates of adultery and abortion which led to “no fault divorce” which led to a public view that marriage doesn’t have to include both parents or children which led to public apathy about marriage, all of which is now used as ammo against traditional marriage. The slippery slope really does happen.
 
He was apparently arrested for not leaving the property (school) when told repeatedly to do so, and no, he didn’t get a gaol sentence.
He wouldn’t leave the property until they would tell him that he could opt his child out of being indoctrinated in “gay marriage”. They wouldn’t back down, so he wouldn’t. But since they had the law on their side, he was arrested for “trespassing”. He could not opt his child out without being arrested. This proves the point that when something becomes the law people can go to jail for disobeying it.

A loud and obnoxious fringe group is not very threatening to the state, nor to those who pull the strings in the media, politics and big business. A universal Church that has moral authority behind it and in excess of one billion members is a bit more of an issue.

These kind of “political” arrests (that is, based on politically charged issues like abortion, euthanasia, same-sex couples’ rights, etc.) are often made to demonstrate a point to those who oppose what is being put forward. I think that’s where it is dangerous for the Church.
 
Could the government force the Catholic Church into marrying same sex folks?

Or continuing that line of reasoning, could the government force the Catholic Church into performing polygamous marriages?

No to both, for the same reason that the Govt couldn’t force the Church to baptize the dead. The Sacraments would not be valid regardless of what the government says, so it would be impossible.

No. But that doesn’t mean they won’t try. If the United States doesn’t do an about-face I have no doubt that the government will use all its power to force this on the Church since the current admin has already had a complete disregard for the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Catholic Church and other traditional Christians for legal harassment with things like the HHS mandate. Meanwhile, the state-run “mainstream media” bombards the public with propaganda to make people believe that “gay marriage” is a right and that the Catholic Church has a “war on women”.

This is not on the gay agenda, so it will not happen. But gay marriages certainly will.
 
Refusal would be “hate speech” … you would be arrested and put in prison.

I understand that, Living Word, but it isn’t his property so if he had to leave, he should have left. There are alternatives, e.g. take your child to another school or don’t send them to school at all. However, it’s true that this is ludicrous.
 
Do you think people want polygamy?..
It’s somewhat peripheral to the discussion, but bisexual isn’t the same as being polyamorous. I’m not sure if that is DaddyGirl’s point, but bisexuals are not necessarily going to advocate polygamy, because that isn’t what bisexuality is.
 
That would be polygamy. That is against the law.
The person would not be allowed to be married to two people at once, just like everyone else.

I sure know a lot of heterosexual men who’d love to have several wives…
Doesn’t matter what the people want.

SSM gets voted down all the time; yet, judges overrule the voters consistently.

So, a judge could simply hold the priest in contempt of court and have him imprisoned until the priest relents. Which would be for life.

The logical reason why marriage has traditionally been defined by most governments, cultures, and societies throughout history as one man and one woman is one based on biology because that’s what makes a child. But when so-called “same-sex marriage” becomes the law, there’s no reason other than an arbitrary written rule why the government would limit it to two people, and it would then be hypocritical and discriminatory for the state not to change the law to include more than two especially when so-called “same-sex marriage” has no historical precedent while everyone knows that polygamy does have that historical precedent. In the same way, by making so-called “same-sex marriage” the law the state would also forfeit any moral argument against incest. “Marriage equality” and such. :rolleyes:

Polygamists want it.
 
By the way, Muslims still practice polygamy, and Islam is the second largest religion in the world. It’s only a matter of time when multiculturalism demands that the state accept Sharia Law and Muslims start demanding the right to openly practice polygamy in the west and have it recognized by the state as marriage as they do openly in the Middle East.

And the argument that incest shouldn’t be allowed because of birth deformities can be easily shot down in the courts because the United States government has set up a standard where it fully expects every unwanted child to be aborted.

I think if Sharia Law were to be enforced via law polygamy would probably be the least of your worries.
 
I think the only thing stopping this is that at the most secular level, marriage is still defined as between 2 people. Mormons can’t legally have multiple wives as of yet, so…
 
Honestly, I think this is just another totally inflated scare story.

I mean, can you imagine the knots the law would tie itself in to enable divorce in such a situation?

A, B and C get hitched in a tri-amorous relationship. B wants a divorce from A. Does that then mean B needs to divorce C as well or would A remain hitched to C and C to B but B not to A?

What then if you introduced D, E and F?

The law simply couldn’t accommodate that, and I don’t think anyone truly expects that it will be asked to, except by a few cranks and those who wish to cause controversy but don’t actually expect it to happen.

It’s really not worth debating. There are bigger and more important things in the world to worry about and occupy our time with: namely disease, poverty, war, famine etc. Those are far bigger threats to the human race than a non existent fiction such as this.
Then the proper thing to do is to dismiss yourself from this worthless debate and go debate something worth debating.😃
 
You’re going to have to provide proof of that. And an arrest does not equate to jailing in any case. And I would have a hard time believing that such an arrest was actually lawful.

People routinely get improperly arrested for all sorts of things, but we don’t generally turn it into a massive conspiracy or scandal. We would normally sue the arresting authority for violating constitutional rights.

For David Parker, the first alarm went off in January, when his 5-year-old son came home from his kindergarten class at Lexington’s Joseph Estabrook School with a bag of books promoting diversity.
Inside were books about foreign cultures and traditions, along with food recipes. There was also a copy of ''Who’s In a Family?" by Robert Skutch, which depicts different kinds of families, including same-sex couples raising children.
The book’s contents concerned Parker and prompted him to begin a series of e-mail exchanges with school officials on the subject that culminated in a meeting Wednesday night with Estabrook’s principal and district director of instruction. The meeting ended with Parker’s arrest after he refused to leave the school, and the Lexington man spent the night in jail.

Well, all that proves is that the man was arrested for trespass because he seemingly staged a ‘sit in’ in protest at the school’s policies, which is not the same thing as being arrested for not agreeing with the school policies, as the scare story would have you believe.

Not only is it a storm in a teacup, the teacup isn’t actually a teacup!
