'I do, I do, I do:' Brazilian female trio get hitched

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - Three's a crowd? Not in Brazil, where three women have defied deeply conservative trends in Congress and wider traditional mores by celebrating a polyamorous civil union.

The happy trio, who reportedly have shared a bed for years and say they want to raise a child, took an oath of love in early October in the presence of Rio de Janeiro notary public Fernanda de Freitas Leitao.

"This union is not just symbolic," because it defines "how they intend to have children," attorney Leitao said.

The lovers -- a businesswomen and a dentist who are both 32 and a 34-year-old office manager -- have been together for three years and wish to remain anonymous. Despite salacious media speculation about their supposed love life, they are in fact shy, their lawyer said.

The union is not a formal marriage, because under Brazilian law that would be bigamy. Neither are they automatically allowed to declare joint income or join a healthcare plan for spouses.

But the civil union is still a big step, according to the lawyer.

I'm fairly certain some of us here predicted this a while ago. Marriage to animals and children are not far behind.

I've said before, we really need to develop a new term and vows for traditional, holy matrimony, and set ourselves apart. I've never considered vow renewal, but I would do it for this reason.

Just prepping you to forcibly take your children and hand them over to a pot bellied pedophile to spend a night with, if you refuse you will be deemed pedophile phobic and put on a hate register where you will be unable to get a job.

YEP that ole slippery slope argument a reality so soon!
Who on earth wud have thunk it!??
Why ever time we cited it, geniuses like fj, and another unmentionable member ridiculed it as juvenile and imbecilic reasoning.
Funny how such worms never seem to be around when the proof in the pudding shows up!

Same way as the vermin that tried to call me a fool aren't around now that reality so proves the validity and truth of this thread I authored over 3 years ago.

But the civil union is still a big step, according to the lawyer.

"If they seek these rights before a court, they could obtain them -- and I think they will," Leitao said.

They also have a better chance now of making good on their plan to create a three-parent family, Leitao said.

"Our union is the fruit of love," the unnamed businesswoman in the trio told the daily O Globo.

But please tell me what laws on the books in the U.S. could withstand a legal challenge for poly-marraiges?
What legal grounds would you use in the supreme court to forbid it, that wasn't used to try and stop homosexual marriages?

I don't think this is a lie though, but rather the beginning. What IF they do in fact get those rights within a year, what then? Would that open the door for others. Yep, of course it will. I don't see this as a lie in any way at all. They did in fact get a notary and form a civil union. I don't think it's a matter of will, but when they'll file to get additional rights there. I agree it hasn't happened yet.... but people scoffed about animals 15 years ago, then it happened in a few places, and people continue to scoff, and a few more happened. Bigamy and even more are discussed in places throughout the states, stating "well, now that those arguments worked for gays..." and they're right, I fail to see why those arguments won't work for them.

Scoff if you will..... gay marriage, multiple spouses, animals, incest... and worse. People want to ignore this slippery slope, and yet all of the above have already been started.

Done by a Notary Public, sheesh. So these 3 had some sort of contract notarized, all that means is:

A Notary's duty is to screen the signers of important documents — such as property deeds, wills and powers of attorney — for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction. Some notarizations also require the Notary to put the signer under an oath, declaring under penalty of perjury that the information contained in a document is true and correct. That's it.

Dad was a Notary as part of one of his jobs and I remember the neighbors coming to our house to have a drivers permit notarized or transfer of a car title. Any business of size has an employee that is a Notary for contracts, etc., all the company does is request the state to give their blessing to said employee.

Nothing to see here, move along!

The slippery slope warning is always criticized by some but later when reality shows it was correct prediction that some never come around to apologize or to admit their error!
Rev comments about "next they'll be passing out condoms at school" is just one example of slippery slope argument made, was laughed at , then in reality came true.. There are many others.
Same type people deny the truth about Islam in much the same way--denial being a convenient way to not have to deal with a problem!! But denial lets it get bigger and have far ,far bigger harmful results..

A federal judge in Utah has struck down part of that state's law banning polygamy

A federal judge in Utah has struck down part of that state's law banning polygamy, after a lawsuit was brought by the stars of the television reality series "Sister Wives."

The ruling late Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups threw out the law's section prohibiting "cohabitation," saying it violates constitutional guarantees of due process and religious freedom.
But the judge said he would keep in place the ban on bigamy "in the literal sense -- the fraudulent or otherwise impermissible possession of two purportedly valid marriage licenses for the purpose of entering into more than one purportedly legal marriage."
The 91-page decision comes months after the Supreme Court struck down a separate federal law that defined marriage as between only one man and one woman, a major legal, political, and social victory for homosexual couples seeking recognition of their same-sex unions.

The current suit was brought two years ago by Kody Brown, a Utah resident and his four wives -- Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn -- who together have 17 children, and whose lives are chronicled on the TLC cable television program.

They claim their privacy rights were being violated by the decades-old law, passed around the time Utah became a state. They are members of a fundamentalist branch of the Mormon Church known as the Apostolic United Brethren Church...
The case is Brown v. Buhman (2:11-cv-652) (https://ecf.utd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?211cv0652-78).

Montana polygamist family still pursuing marriage license

BILLINGS - MT Updated: Jul 07, 2015 8:53 PM EDT

A Lockwood family that wants to have their polygamous marriage legalized said Tuesday that the road to the altar is just beginning. Since MTN News first broke the story last week (http://www.krtv.com/story/29450937/montana-polygamist-family-applies-for-marriage-license), the family's story has gone viral across the globe. Nathan Collier and his wives Vicki and Christine found themselves in the glare of the national spotlight after applying for a marriage license. Their goal is to legalize their polygamous marriage.Polygamy is illegal under Montana state law, and recognized as a misdemeanor offense."We're simple people from simple backgrounds," said Nathan. "To find ourselves in a position to make real social change, that's a pretty big burden to bear." Last week, Nathan and Christine traveled to the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings to see if they would be awarded the right to marry under the Marriage Equality Act. ...

..."There's a spot on there where you put the dissolution date of your previous marriage and we put 'not applicable,'" said Christine. The couple was met with varied reaction from employees, who were caught off guard. "So, are you legally married, you didn't get divorced?" asked one clerk. "We'll have to deny that, let me go grab the other supervisor real quick so I can get confirmation but as far as I'm aware you can't be married to two people at the same time," said another clerk. The Colliers were denied the license, and the clerk later returned to tell the couple that they would have to check with the Montana Attorney General's office. Since then, the Colliers have been met with silence from Yellowstone County officials, leaving them to wonder what will happen next. "At this point we don't know what to expect, we're either going to plan a marriage, plan a civil suit, or possibly even a criminal defense," said Nathan. The family hopes that their situation could be included in the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision that legalized gay marriage across the nation.

"We're just wanting to be a family, we just want the same rights that everybody else has," said Vicki. "Marriage equality means marriage equality." The family said they want legal legitimacy, but also for society to know that they have nothing to hide. For now the Colliers wait in limbo until their marriage license receives approval or denial. "We have received no response yet from the county," said Nathan. "Which is a shame. Montana right now has the chance, has the opportunity, to lead the entire nation." All attempts to reach comment from Yellowstone County officials have gone unanswered.http://www.krtv.com/story/29496453/montana-polygamist-family-still-pursuing-marriage-license.
seems they were denied so their planning a civil suit.
so yeah no slippery slope here right?

California bill would allow a child to have more than two parents (http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/02/4604048/california-bill-would-allow-a.html)

<tbody>
...Mom and Dad, same-sex couples or blended families, California law is clear: No more than two legal parents per child.
When adults fight over parenthood, a judge must decide which two have that right and responsibility – but that could end soon. State Sen. Mark Leno is pushing legislation to allow a child to have multiple parents. "The bill brings California into the 21st century, recognizing that there are more than Ozzie and Harriet families today," the San Francisco Democrat said.
Surrogate births, same-sex parenthood and assisted reproduction are changing society by creating new possibilities for nontraditional households and relationships. Benjamin Lopez, legislative analyst for the Traditional Values Coalition, blasted Leno's bill as a new attempt to "revamp, redefine and muddy the waters" of family structure by a leader in the drive to legalize gay marriage.
...
Under Leno's bill, if three or more people who acted as parents could not agree on custody, visitation and child support, a judge could split those things up among them.

From the SCOTUS "marriage" ruling
"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right." link (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/12-most-important-lines-from-the-historic-gay-marriage-decision-20150626#ixzz3fFpDkzo4)

Can someone Please explain to me how the above LEGAL viewpoint cannot be applied to polygamous persons, or other even odder combinations? the key word in this last statement can not be construed to be "two" by anyone who's honest. But the idea of multiples comes logically and easily. If 2 is good then 3 or more may be even better and anyway "They just ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law." right?

Only if the Greek and Hebrew are MIS-translated and other scripture are completely ignored can one honestly conclude that homosexuality is not sin.

Look FJ , as you've pointed out, we can find polygamy in the lives of various biblical people. without much condemnation.
But FJ can you show ANY homosexual marriages in the bible?
Or even any un-condemned homosexual "relationships" in the bible?
Or even a place where, like the probation against certain foods, the condemnation for homosexuality is specifically lifted in the new testament?

Show any of those and then maybe you've got an honest starting place to maybe consider that maybe homosexuality is not that sinful.
Until then it's just twisting scriptural "interpretations" into a pretzel to see what's socially fashionable.

That would be a fallacy. There are many things that are not in the bible that are not a sin. Much of the condemnation is not based on biblical sources it is based on the MIS-translation ;) in the first place. You are working from the standpoint that the KJV is correct and true and must be disproved before one can look for correct biblical sources. The only honest starting point are the original texts.

Jesus pointed out and Paul reiterated, the biblical standard is what God created "in the beginning" in Genesis.
one man + one women at his side. not chattel or multiple wives or anything else.
that's the biblical standard FJ. Go back to the very beginning.
Why are dodging ignoring what God created 1st? and what Jesus and Paul said?
that's the biblical standard.
everything else is off template, 2nd rate at best and sin after that.

No, I'm not assuming the KJV. I am very much talking about the original text in Hebrew and Greek, that all translations come from FJ.
Below are a few other bible'sversions of Leviticus 20:18.
Among them are the Orthodox jewish bible, Youngs literal translation, the amplified bible, several Catholic bibles.
The translations are from the pre1500s to the 1980s. from original text that date back to the 1st century and before.
Did everyone over the past 700 years mistranslate the condemnation of homosexuality FJ?

As Noir mentioned that's the understanding of most that take the bible as literal in Genesis.
It fairly clear if not 100% definitive if you read the 1st 9 chapters that humans were likely vegetarians until after the flood.

there's no mention of humans eating meat until after that, and as Noah and family are leaving the ark God says.
Genesis 9:3-4
"Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. "

The Jewish dietary laws came long after that to Moses at Sinai.
And seemed to be for 2 purposes. religious and health.
But the religious prohibitions for foods were lifted with Jesus. But the prohibition against eating blood was reiterated.


question my knowledge will you??!! how dare ya! LOL!
look please feel free to question any so called knowledge of mine,
all i ask is that you check out what i say and see if i'm making it up or something.

That wasn't a dodge, it was the argument that has been presented by many. Regarding one man + one woman and Genesis 2:24 in looking at the Hebrew it appears that verse is an add-on from the original text; Genesis in Hebrew is poetic whereas 2:24 is not. Nevertheless the reality of marriage in biblical times is far from the love-based institution that it's been made into relatively recently.

And as mentioned, God gave us meat to eat as well at this point. Moses, Abraham, all the apostles and Jesus ate meat even visiting angels in human form ate meat. There's zero prohibition against it at this point.

... ‘If there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, one who commits adultery with his friend’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.11 If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.12 If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 13 If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 14 If there is a man who marries a woman and her mother, it is immorality; both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that there will be no immorality in your midst. 15 If there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal.16 If there is a woman who approaches any animal to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death....

it's in the middle of several other prohibitions against various types of sexual sin.

As mentioned before much was allow but not condoned or promoted as best practices.
the Bible seems to promote the Song of Soloman. It does not promote Solomon's many wives in fact the practice was spoken against by God via Moses in Deuteronomy 17:16-17 long before he came to the throne.
"..The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” 17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray...."

especially when none of the other sexual offenses are framed in that context. And homosexually in general is mentioned in the middle of the list. The clear context are various sexual sins IN GENERAL. Not sexual sin within pagan ritualistic context. Pagan issues are spoken to elsewhere.

the Bible is very good at making exceptions. as mentioned to Noir about eating veggies and meat. God specifically gave meat after the flood, but made an exception with blood. then Moses spoke of forbidden food, but then Peter is given a vision to eat those foods again, BUT still not blood.

the older translations haven't missed homosexual caveats.
the verses says
"a man lying with a man AS with a woman... is detestable"
NOT
"a man lying with a man AS with a woman... in a pagan temple rituals only... is detestable

It's not there unless someone imagines it COULD mean that to try and shoehorn in some thin biblical legitimacy to what's obviously condemned outright at every mention.
