This can easily be fixed by those states living in the 1920s repealing their archaic laws.
If they have 70% on their side that should be easy.

the no laws are needed period, to do with marriage.
Including age? Or can we still be archaic there?

Your gayness shines through in this post. Kiss your husband.

No such thing.

It's hilarious that you mentioned this and "small government" in the same message.

Care to explain? I’m not trying to be one, I genuinely don’t understand what you are saying.

Archaic folks married at 13 or so.
I don't think governments would recognize a meaningful, enforceable contract for much at that age, these days.

Why not?
Are you saying we still need laws putting some boundaries around marriage so people know what the government will or won't recognize?

Has nothing to do with marriage. The government is not privy to recognizing binding contracts between minors, period.

I said years ago it’s not enough to allow the LGBTQ….XYZ+=^¥!? to their lives without harassment, as the OP says, you must embrace and promote their relationships….they must have affirmation.

You're wrong, because there are states where you can get married as young as 16 without parental permission. If they wouldn't recognize another type of legal contract but WOULD recognize a marriage then it sounds like it has a lot to do with marriage.

It sounds like your answer is yes, you just don't want to actually type the letters.

I think Fla and Ga allow for underage without parental consent if the woman is pregnant.
Every other state requires parental consent and all that allow 16 year olds to marry require consent if the woman isn't pregnant.
I don't think you have to worry about 16 year old gay dudes getting pregnant.

This. Gay marriage is already accepted and legal.
This bill is a pointless virtue signal. May as well waste time coming up with a virtue signal bill that makes murder illegal and when some Democrats refuse to waste time humoring shite that is already illegal, we can ask why Democrats support murder and think it should be legal.
They could be trying to come up with legit immigration reform or something...instead of wasting time with virtue signal bills.

Wrong! Hank explained it above. Using your logic, a year ago one could say that abortion is already legal, so there is no need for a law legalizing it. See your error now?

Damn so what you’re saying is that basically gay marriage is like dead unborn babies?
I kid. Whatevs. Y’all have at it.

Overly dramatic false accusations against people (homophobic) because you dont; know the meaning of the word. Once you start blanket drama queen accusations against other people no one cares what you have to say.
Debating gay marriage is in fact not remotely close to homophobia.

Not Idaho, and that was just the first one I checked. Under 16 they need a court order, 16 or 17 they just need a copy of their birth certificate.

Again, clearly we view marriage as a little different than a normal contract. Makes sense that it would require a legal definition, which requires a law.

I don’t understand why people are opposed to gay marriage. Who cares if dudes like dude and lesbians like lesbians?

And the best way to do that is to get government out of the business of marriage. Get rid of the tax breaks and subsidies associated with it and give the institution back to the Church. If you want a piece of paper saying you love each other and want to spend the rest of your life together, go to a court house and have them print you a certificate if that makes you feel better about yourself.
Real marriage should be reserved for one man and one woman.

In cases where the child is a ward of the state, the court acts in that capacity.
Kids aren't running off and getting married anymore They're living together
there's no need to limit an age in an institution the federal government doesn't recognize
