Libertarian case/No-fault divorce[edit]

I find the libertarian case misrepresented. Effectively it already makes no differences whether you are married or not since no-fault divorce was introduced and sex outside marriage legalised. Common law marriage assumes you are married when you are not. Child support does not depend on a kid being illegitimate or not. There is really no penalty for whoring around anymore, so I think the argument that the state should stay out of the business is legit.— Unsigned, by: 193.62.251.21 / talk / contribs

Legal arguments section outdated[edit]

The legal arguments section somehow does not include the actual arguments in Obergefell v. Hodges, notably the "right to choice of intimate identity and beliefs". Any objections to adding them? Also the author of the text, Justice Anthony Kennedy, somehow does not have a page? Ramendik (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Why not gold?[edit]

Why not making this article Gold? It seems to me that it meets all criteria. -Lankaster (talk) 12:54, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Very poor research[edit]

You are wrong, you failed to cite counter sources, ad hominem, get over it and go away. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 12:14, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
There were indeed some broken links in that section, but I've fixed them all now, and added yours GC.--Yisfidri (talk) 00:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

What egdes where?[edit]

From the article: "According to the recent Gallup poll,the percentage of Americans favoring same sex marraige egdes high like never before!" I'd correct it if I could tell what it was supposed to mean. Vivisectionist (talk) 03:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

I think "edge" is misspelled. I think when they mean by "edge high" they mean there's a big margin. See edge out phrase. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario!(Mod) 04:43, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

"Forthcoming article from the NYU Review of Law & Social Change"[edit]

The Conduct or Status? section mentions a "Forthcoming article from the NYU Review of Law & Social Change" that, if I'm understanding it correctly (I'm no legal scholar here), will argue for framing same-sex marriage as conduct rather than status under the law. Special:Permalink/56676 It's been saying that since 2007. Anybody got a idea of what the article in question is/was? DietMondrian (talk) 11:24, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

no legal expert here, but it very much sounds like a legal tactic to use in court to support a larger argument being made rather than a argument in favour of same sex marriage in its own right. the conduct or status section reads like a argument was going to become a significantly important tactic. without the article in question or a more enlightening explanation as to what it actually means or it implications, then it just reads like semantics and by now probably outdated speculation. recommend delete that section unless someone has something more concrete to add.
