    How many dads is best isn't what's the issue here, this doesn't belong in a political party's platform. All the shit facing this nation and this is important? What is the political answer to this then not allowing certain people not to be parents. Really?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm sorry, I'm not following what this has to do with gay people. Why are you asking about gay siblings? Why are they different from straight siblings? Are you saying that siblings should be able to marry, whether it's two gay siblings or a straight brother and sister?

    Okay, so what is the solution to this? Forced birth control until people are married? Banning of divorce until the child has moved out of the house? How about a new welfare program, we pay men to be father figures to kids? How about we take kids away from single parents and put them into foster homes with two straight parents?

    P
    Perhaps you urge people to take their covenanted of marriage seriously and to follow through with their responsibility to their children.
    Seems logical to me.

    Urge? So political parties are about urging now? "We urge you to brush your teeth." "We urge you to look both ways when crossing the street." "We urge your kid to always have a dad."

    I didn't say anything conclusive. I ask if the laws that prohibit siblings from getting a marriage license still apply?
    Why does the law care if two Lesbian or Gay men are siblings that want to marry?
    Shouldn't this discrimination be shot down under the same equal protection clause that was used to permit same sex marriage?

    What does sibling marriage have to do specifically with gay people?

    A lot of orphans have parents that are married, but cannot raise their children..there are a lot of loser married couples with kids out there..to me children raised by anyone who is responsible, loving and wants to guide them into healthy lives is on the right track and it has nothing to do with the institution of marriage. Some people shouldn't have kids, married or not, some shouldn't have pets for the same reason.

    Sly, they have been doing this since the government implemented the Income Tax. When they gave Married couples a tax break
    in the tax code, wouldn't you agree that this was to urge people to marry? I think most congressman that support the tax break
    think marriage is proven institution in our society, worthy of a tax break. Tax breaks usually get you more of something, government speak for urge.

    enh! Why don't you answer the question? Does the law prohibit Gay Siblings from obtaining a marriage license?
    If so why?

    WEAK SAUCE.

    it's way more important to spend us $20T into debt or something.

    I honestly don't care about their platform, but I get it that they think society is better off in the long run if the kids get the best chance to succeed.

    So would two married people who hate each other and fight constantly have more stable kids than a single parent who has a happy environment and loves life...I don't think so....there are so many grey areas when you lump social groups into charts and graphs..

    Show me where I quoted or agreed with the the conclusions by politifact? I'm not denying any of your research. I'm saying that this doesn't belong in a political party's platform.

    I'm still not understanding what homosexuality and sibling marriage have to do with one another. Why gay siblings?

    You found some reason to post it and then facepalm over it.

    I don't think spending $20T should be in a party's platform, but it is. Even if indirectly.

    So what?

    It clearly is important to some people, and they get to vote and have the party they want.

    I am as certain as I can be that homosexual couples can raise children who are successful.

    I think that's what Rance Priebus actually said.

    Facepalm?

    See, now I think the national debt is something that should be discussed and something done about. There is lots of legislation that can be passed that can reduce the national debt. What legislation can be passed that can make sure that each kid has a mother and father?

    And if you don't care about the platform, fine. I do.

    That was my take.

    But I did not infer that was the salient point. Since most children come to this world with two parents, it would be best if the parents were married. Best for the children. Perhaps and I infer again, that the children are coming more frequently without the benefit of married parents. Not the best.
