So Crazy it might just be Genius
Advocates of same-sex marriage in the state of Washington — tired of the ‘old marriage is just for breeders’ argument — have proposed a new law, which just might be crazy enough to work:
Proponents of same-sex marriage have introduced a ballot measure that would require heterosexual couples to have a child within three years or have their marriages annulled … the measure would require couples to prove they can have children to get a marriage license. Couples who do not have children within three years could have their marriages annulled.
The Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance in Washington conceded that the bill, on its face, is “absurd,” but hopes that it might provoke discussion. And who knows, maybe the state House will play their game of brinksmanship and push it through, just to prevent gays from achieving the right to marry.
But what the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance should’ve done was to propose a law that would’ve annulled all marriages if the couple weren’t still having sex after three years. Now, that’s the way to kill a few hundred thousand marriages.
