Same-sex marriage and child molestation.
Another fundie asserting that homosexuality and child molestation are practically interchangeble... Yipee.
Like Sarah Palin
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I have been attacked on this thread
I suspect that if I were to actually read the entire thread I would find that what you call "attacks" are really nothing more than people who disagree with you and can't be rhetorically browbeaten into sharing your point of view.
for saying if same-sex marriage becomes legal, then child molesters should not be punished, either’
In that case, if you actually were "attacked" for that view, you deserved it.
I have learned that ignorant people hardly ever see the truth, because they are blinded by their own ignorance.
So people who don't agree with you are ignorant because you are privvy to the "real truth", even if that "truth" is just something you made up.
In the USA, traditional marriage (between one man and one woman) allows teenagers of the opposite sex to get married.
First, marital laws are a state matter and as such are not governed by frederal law.
Second, while some states do permit teenagers to marry, they do not allow them to do so without restriction. First and foremost among those restriction is parental consent znd in some states the age of the adult party in the marriage is capped at a certain age, usually somewhere between 18-25.
If same-sex marriage should be legalized, and an adult man married a teenage boy, then that would be the equation to child molestation.
So where is your outrage and accusations of child molestation when an adult man marries an teenage girl? Or is it only child molestation if both parties are of the same sex? Futher more, any teenager who obtains parental consent to enter into a marriage is effectively emancipated and therefore and adult in the eyes of the law.
Some states allow 14 years to get married
No state in the US, not a single fucking one allows a minor to marriy without their parents or guardians consent and other, occasinally numerous, legal hoops to jump through.
Only ignorant people would argue that same-sex marriage is not equal to child molestation.
That's where you're wrong. You simply cannot equate same sex marriage, a marital contract between 2 consenting adults, with child molestation, a sex act forced upon a non consenting minor. Moreover, your entire post seems to be based on the assumption that all gay men are only interested in, or attracted to, teenage boys. An assumption that is simply not true.
Heck, if same-sex marriage becomes legal, what would stop people from marrying a dog, or a cow, or anything else?
It's in the name you bloody fucking idiot! It's call same-sex marriage not interspecies marriage. Marriage requires mutual consent, something which animals cannot give. Making same sex marriage legal does not, would not, and under US law cannot override, negate, or remove the existing law prohibitig bestiality, child molestation, or any of the other dumb as fuck slippery slope fallacies that bigots like yourself are so fond of asserting as if they were fact.
