My wife and I both have dark hair. If some group of assholes with enough time and money ...

[11 Bravo]

can put together a ballot initiative disapproving of that simple biological fact, can our marriage be de-legitimized?

1. You disgusting, unnatural prevert

[Hissyspit]

2. It offends my religious beliefs that you both have dark hair.

but then I'm an idiot who doesn't even really know anything about my religion, I just like to pretend I do so I can justify my base bigotries.

5. What's to stop them from banning interracial marriage?

What's to stop them from banning inter-faith marriage?
What's to stop them from discriminating against anyone on anything?

6. Honestly?

No. Ex Post Facto

Same reason the court did not annul the 18,000 existing marriages.

If someone want to ban future marriages between people with same hair color?
Probably.

Marriage is not defined as a right.
Even for straight couples you must get a marriage license.
License = permission from the state.
You don't need permission to exercise a right.

Unless marriage is redefined as a right you (if you get divorced and want to remarry) will be "vulnerable" to such a legislative action.

8. thank you for this post

I posted a question on another thread asking how it could stand in court that 18k people are legally married but nobody else can now marry. It isn't fair.

Your post answered my question. Thanks.
