Search Results: gay marriage

My personal view as a proud American, I think we should! What do you think and why?

According to the data from the experiment so far over a million people changed their facebook profile picture with the rainbow filter in support of gay "marriage".

It was used as a psychological tool for testing and collecting data on users that would be influenced by movements from others. There is further data collection servers focused on seeing how long it will also take the users to later remove the filter too according to MIT network scientist Cesar Hidalgo.



The red line in this Facebook graph shows how actions that deemed risky spread differently online. In cases like the marriage equality meme that took place in 2013, more people are likely to take part, the more friends they have, as shown by the number of exposures in this graphic

Pictured is the spread of membership in LGBT Facebook Groups across the US. By setting up its own tool to let people filter their profile picture, the concern is that Facebook is able to get an unprecedented insight into how to influence people's views, such as their support for same-sex marriage.

The conducted survey was able to operate by bypassing consumer data privacy violations through the above method and able to conclude that people were largely followers of whatever their friends and mainstream social media presented

So, as the educated among you know, in the USA law is drastically shaped by case law, especially when there is little to no legislation in an area. That is, courts hear cases in gray areas, decide what things mean, and it becomes law/practice. And gay marriage has just been legalized, so I wonder... will gay marriage practices bleed into family law and affect normal marriage?

For instance, say a gay couple has kids. Biology seems to indicate that only one of those two people will be genetically related to the child, no? Unlike a marriage with a man and woman, where usually both peopel are related to the child. Let's say a gay divorce or child support case goes to court, and one of the people argues against paying child support, as he/she is not related to the child. The other says, "Judge, that may apply to straight marriage, but in a homosexual relationship, there's about no cases where both parents are related to the child. You can't decide a gay marriage on straight standards!" And that person wins! Paternity is ruled to not be genetic, and it's a relationship thing, not DNA.

Then, say, a woman in a straight marriage goes to a divorce case. Her husband was cheated on, and is arguing that he doesn't have to pay child support because the kid was just born, and DNA tests confirm. But she says, "That court ruled paternity is not genetic, it's a relationship, etc, blah blah." Maybe she loses, and common sense reigns. But mayeb she finds a judge who likes new arguments and making new caselaw, and she wins. And suddenly it's standard practice that husbands have a duty to support all children their wife births, regardless of who the genetic father is. Legalized cuckoldry, made official.

So what do you think? Will judges be smart enough to keep the two beasts separate, and not alter straight marraige by applying gay marriage standards/practices? Or will the two start overlapping, and the law change?

Apparently (link to source below) many americans want to escape marriage equality and emigrate to Canada.

Thing is, Canada (like most of the rest of the world) has allowed gay marriage for a while now.

Are you one of these?
