Alabama Chief Justice: Father-Daughter Marriages May Follow Same-Sex Ruling

[DonViejo]

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he's fighting gay marriage because he worries it would pave the way to "marriages between men and their daughters or women and their sons."

On Sunday, Moore ordered state probate judges to refuse to marry same-sex couples, defying a federal ruling that brought gay marriage to the state Monday.

ABC News correspondent Steve Osunsami asked Moore in a "Good Morning America" segment broadcast Tuesday whether he feared that his opposition to gay marriage would put him on "the wrong side of history."

"Absolutely not," Moore responded. “Do they stop with one man and one man or one woman and one woman? Or do they go to multiple marriages? Or do they go to marriages between men and their daughters or women and their sons?”

1. Slippery slope is a logical fallacy.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

17. To be fair, New Jersey ain't helping.

There was a story here a few weeks ago about a father and daughter. She lost her virginity to him and they plan on getting married and having children --

22. Incest isn't new. And in NJ sexual relations between adults is legal, no matter how hight the Yuk

factor or biologically close the relationship. Something they are trying to change.

But I think that incest is just the excuse being used.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

23. "in NJ sexual relations between adults is legal"

I think anyone who has seen Jersey Shore has already suspected this for some time.

2. Makes you wonder what Roy has in his hangups closet.

These idiots are the only ones that ever come up with these scenarios.

[msanthrope]

24. No--I don't 'wonder' anymore. He's told all the world, hasn't he? nt

[Orrex]

3. We should simply declare that everyone is married to everyone else and get it over with.

[kwassa]

4. If I divorce all y'all, can I get alimony? From everybody?

[Orrex]

5. Yes, but we're all going to keep your house.

[kwassa]

10. well with what I will charge everyone ...

I'll have a beach house like Mike Huckabee!

[HappyMe]

16. You'll not get a dime.

See you in court.

[HappyMe]

6. What? No mention of any marriages to animals!

In the end, he will be on the wrong side of history.

[ChosenUnWisely]

7. Well if Talibama and other Red States want to formalize the traditional father/daugher

or Mother/Son or Brother/Sister marriage that has been going one for a very long time there, be my guest. I don't have a problem with it.

It is nothing new.

What do they call it down there...Southern Tradition, I think they even wrote a few country and western songs about it.

12. alAbama

Or Allah Bama works too

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Don't worry, Roy, your pet sheep *wink*wink* still love ewe.

Good grief, what is wrong with this man?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

9. I've started looking at my office stapler with an eye toward marriage.

Once Teh Gays start marrying, there's no telling what sort of thoughts they'll put in my head. So we should just break federal law and ignore rulings, or else we'll end up with people marrying microbes and aardvarks and so on.

As with segregation, we'll eventually drag Alabama kicking and screaming toward the light (no disrespect intended toward Alabama DUers).

[underpants]

11. Is it a sexy red one or a thinning black model?

That reminds me, I need to order more post-it noted

[DisgustipatedinCA]

14. I have an odd fetish. It's gray. nt

[City Lights]

13. If you say so...

[BlueJazz]

15. I wanted to marry Jessica Rabbit (Who framed Roger Rabbit) but she's a rabbit of color.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Plus she's married anyway...

[yallerdawg]

18. Roy Moore is funny!

Of course it follows:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. If he could clone himself, he'd probably think about proposing

[pipi_k]

20. Family gatherings

could get mighty interesting...

[hifiguy]

21. It's amazing that this manlike object can walk and talk

considering that he has no brain whatsoever and his head is literally as empty as interstellar space. A new kind of zombie perhaps?

[KamaAina]

25. Excuse me?

And what does he have against mother-son marriages?

[Jamastiene]

26. I seem to remember a right wing movement involving purity rings and daughters

pledging themselves to their fathers until marriage. How come he didn't have jack shit to say about that? Oh, that's right, IOKIYAR...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. Yes, we used to see posts here about fundie dads introducing their daughters to balls

Purity Balls where they pledged their virginity to their dads and where a deep emotional attachment to daddy was meant to replace love from any potential boyfriend. The daughter's main value is seen as her virginity, which is owned by her father until he passes it off to her husband.

[onenote]

28. Isn't allowing first cousings to marry a more direct path to father-daughter or mother-son marriage

than allowing unrelated adults to marry? Yet Alabama (among a number of states) allows first cousins to marry, but manages not to allow parent-child marriage.

Sorry Roy.

[Tsiyu]

30. Yeah, they never heard of Incest in Alabama

I will not repeat the jokes about 'family relations" in Alabama. Nope.

Won't denigrate the fine posters on here from that beautiful, dumb state. Said as one from another dumb state.

[hifiguy]

32. "If she ain't good enuf fer her own famly

she ain't good enuf for our'n."

[Tsiyu]

35. Don't get me started!

[dilby]

31. Hey you can marry your first cousin in Alabama but man if those gays marry there is a problem.

The best way for straight bigots to protest gay marriage is for them to not get married to gay people, that will really show the gays then.

[Rhinodawg]

33. That is some state.

[Arcanetrance]

34. No that's the Bible you're thinking about Moore

Allowing marriages based on biblical beliefs will lead to father daughter marriages

[leftyladyfrommo]

36. Don't know about you but I lay awake nites worrying about that.

These guys are getting pretty desperate. Gay marriage is going to be legal all over and they are going crazy.
