a told the County Clerk is refusing to marry a lesbian couple
even though they went through the court system and received
word from the US district judge by the name of Terence current
but they are allowed to get married in the state of Oklahoma
now the court clerk Sally how Smith says now this goes against my beliefs
I don't wanna marry them I totally disagree with this keep in mind the
lesbian couple has been together for 17 years so the serious relationship
they just want to get married and move on with their lives well the lawyers
for the County Clerk refuses to marry the lesbian couple
have argued that marriage is about perjury
potentially procreative *** relationships into stable unions
rather than recognizing the love and commitment of two people
plaintive reduce marriage from
and institution that exist to benefit children and society
and relegated to a mere stamp through which a government-approved loving
emotional unions between adult couples
okay so let's get this right you can't conceive
then you're not into procreation business near no business
getting married yeah so one and they asked people when they come in if
they're straight couple
like I we know she couple got married was no interesting kids so they say
they're sorry no
not be with you night he realizes will
okay which by the way is what twenty percent in a 2-1 up by one in five
couples in the United States user
don't have children by choice or they can't conceive and they don't wanna die
well let's be fair let him some time period right is there some amor trying
but after 10 years if you have been able to conceive reading and abuse are you
divorce
okay that it's only reason why people get married its only purpose for
marriage rights procreation
I know when I'm when ham spill the seat on the ground
got was very upset and and he
smote him or whatever God does I
by the way he was having sex with his brother's wife gotti
yet and his brother in God was not mad that he was having sex with his
brother's wife he was mad that
he didn't *** inside his brother's wife okay that's in the Bible go and
read
okay so now after 10 years old people who didn't have kids sorry that's it you
have to force
plus once women goal through menopause
well you can conceive so was quite a marriage
I mean an immediate divorce okay so
let's wrap it up but idk I know it consistent with
the belief system that a lot of religious people have right and that
belief system is
who cares about adults who cares about people that already exist
let's think about like theoretical situation
let's think about possible children or zygote
that's what we want to protect right yet so if you're not interested in having
children you should get married
on if you're not interested in conceiving you shouldn't have sex
like it everything is about this you know
mystical child and then use it as a child was born who cares about poppers
and
right let's let's focus on bashing the parents and then
you know forcing them encouraging them to hop more kids
one my flask is a context here look the reason that all that sucks in the
Old Testament is because about 3,000 years ago roughly
the is realize the beat the Canada its a and the Philippines et cetera
and they had about seven thousand people and other guys and these are very rough
numbers that I am
partly me up but they were very very limited okay that the numbers
and he can I said a thousand people so they need to create more
kids so they can have more soldiers so they could be the camerons
we don't live in that world anymore
we've got seven billion people on planet Earth okay
that stuff was written thousands of years ago
in entirely different context now most people recognize as both questions
recognize this
but some that would like to practice hatred
then stake yeah good enough excuse I
your lesbian couple now I'm well I'm worried about
conception sorry I denied you now it's just because your hate for you didn't
want them to get married
you want them to have the same I see you do so there's that
anti-gay angle to this and I think that's the primary reason why they're
arguing this in court
obviously but then there's like a a wider societal issue where there's
always a lot of pressure on people to have kids
and so if a couple if that one in five American couple decides hey you know
what we don't want to have children
they can judge by so many people and I've never really understood that before
because it doesn't impact your life if it doesn't stop you from procreating
having kids
why do you care if there's random couple whether they're your friends or family
members don't want to have children
who gives a damn well so there's two reasons for that one is
again different culture left over for a different context who is not just the
religions
it's that like even my grandmother lived in a different world remember my dad
growing up in southeastern Turkey had no electricity this house no refrigerator
I Beenie Man have a clock okay they
knew when to get up at four o'clock in the morning to go tend to feel the
center so my grandmother
had the was praying six times with only carried to term
right so now that happens all the time I was one grandmother grandmother had even
bigger problems
in in delivering kids so no idea was have as many kids as you possibly can
and plus they help on the farm that's why it's really important to have that
many kids
right and soap that culture remains
in a context that is completely changed I think there's also a lot of Henry
I gotta keep it real I hold your class yeah that was the same when I was gonna
yet so like
let me just jump in really quickly I the sense that I get
from friends and family members that have children
is there after I mean obviously have to sacrifice so much of yourself
and your life in order to raise kids and then you see these couples that are all
but loose and fancy free you know there are not many kids like they're going to
whatever vacations and whatever they're they're doing bingo night
oh you go to bingo tonight right Cup
then I think that they're like a little bit have any thoughts like so when are
you
gonna have children yeah go global 11 children
you know rain this cat we really personal it some but
our blog I'm having a lot of all my kids so if you wanna do that
I think that's great for you but if you think that's not right for you
what business is it of mine yet but the for the people who are like
weighed down by the kids so I know you got kids to go
was not fair you're running a route it goes against my religion
the religion to do you rights right your view
sign actually build a school for building it on building it because I
want people to live their lives and enjoy it right so people are judging you
for your lifestyle choice
that doesn't harm anyone else don't pay attention to you
your follower about religion well ironically that was
what was prohibited in the Bible doing you when you're not you
I hmm one up
why not indeed have always thought you when I was by
told that we were religious whatever right again
and Ingram their religious but they were so poor that Swan
no sake know God I know would be a yes that you
no okay so I grew up in trip in going to church in all that no one
ever sat me down and said Anna you are not allowed to *** yourself
it's against our religion like what it will really put a conversation with you
no no no that's ok he says the pipeline the idea that my parents will have a
conversation with me is if you go to shut it cases
inconceivable favorite hey
the idea that my mom opening or no
that way no way and my dad
that ok aging is very important you cannot talk to down there okay there is
no the ***
okay then you cannot go to keep you cannot pull it you cannot target
it is therefore be well
