Meet The Brother + Sister That Will Get Married If You Don’t Oust Iowa’s Supreme Court Justices
Spoofing an eHarmony ad Tim Hicks, proud member of the Cornerstone World Outreach Church in Sioux City, would like to thank the Iowa Supreme Court for the inevitable: After legalizing same-sex marriage, the Court totally paved the way for brothers and sisters to get hitched as well. Ohhh, so this is why we need to unseat those three Supreme Court justices? Ya know, I didn’t want to stereotype, but then I remembered this study showing poor old male Christians are the most likely to support the removal of the judges. [via]
Blah blah blah yet ANOTHER one of these stupid videos that are supposed to prove some kind of IGNORANT point. Gay marriage isnt about a man getting married to his dog or a brother getting married to his sister its about LOVE sheesh.These people are so stuck in the past.I bet this church also doesnt think its right for a white man to be married to a black women either.Morons.

According to recent reports, even if they are “outsted” their decision will remain as most new judges won’t overturn a decsion made by a previous court. Could it happen….maybe, but chances are slim to none. This was a unanimous decsion by 7 on the bench…not just the three on the ballot. Many of the under educated, blue haired, zealots who think they run this state also think they are lawyers and justices. I hope that our GLBT brothers and sisters can put down their cocktails and turn off the golden girls for 30 mins to go vote to retain these justices. We can’t rely on the straight voters to do this for us….sigh.

Marriage=union between two individual who are not blood-related, who love each other and are willing to freely join this partnership.

Incestuous marriage and gay marriage are two different paradigms. A ban on incestuous marriage does not prevent the two parties from becoming married to other parties to whom they are sexually attracted. A ban on gay marriage prevents the parties from becoming married to anybody to whom they are sexually attracted.

If they can’t reproduce, I don’t see any reason for the government to intrude. The unhappy consequenses would be borne by their kids who’d have genetic/physical problems.
So if they’ve been spayed and neutered, no big deal.
It’s kinda weird, though.

Remember, marriage is not a requirement for having children (or sex) and children are not a guaranteed result of getting married, despite how many religious nutbags would like to think otherwise. It would be reckless for related persons to have children but we do have birth control now.
So in my opinion, yes it would be weird but there really is no valid reason to deny a marriage contract between consenting adults, as children are not the sole reason for a marriage.
Though I won’t say it publicly, I do think that gay marriage will eventually lead to things such as plural marriage, which I have no problem with as long as all parties consent to it.

yawn…
Are people in Iowa that stupid? That’s never been my impression.
