Once again Tennessee is fighting for that revered pedophile vote by trying to remove child marriage laws. If passed this means that pedophiles can marry their victims. gently caress this stupid state.

So, all this bill does is give an alternative form of marriage for those pastors and other individuals who have a conscientious objection to the current pathway to marriage in our law

Amazing how blatant the bill's intent is. It's using a very thin "MUH RELIGION" cover to justify this poo poo. Which, hell, aren't many child marriages in the US justified with religion to begin with?

I'm doubtful it will pass since it's getting called the pedo bill, but kinda worried this is the precursor to some hosed up Florida-style legislation to hurt LGBTQ people considering how Jesus-crazy a lot of Tennessee is.

Like I said, they've done it before and it probably won't pass because literally everyone calls it the crazy pedo bill but gently caress this state just wants to legalize child rape to spite the gays

Reminder that rightwingers don't think it counts as pedophilia so long as the adult man waits until his child bride has her first period before raping her because Jordan Peterson says that's how animals do it in the wild.

What happens if this theoretically passes, and 35 year old Jethro takes 13 year old Betsy across state lines?

Hell in Wisconsin if your spouse is under 21 you can buy them alcohol. He could take her to the bars. Or Wild Wings or whatever. "Oh yes I'll take the mango habenero wings and a bud light. Betsy would like the childrens tenders combo and fries, and a manhattan sour. A double. No she don't got ID, she's 13. Can't even drive. Here's mine. Yes she can, she's mah wife!"

Trick question. Most of the men marrying little girls will be good, God-fearing christians who will keep their child brides locked up in the house so they don't go around doing "sinful" things.

Only a couple of the Levitical laws. They still want bacon and shrimp. And that whole thing about mixed fabrics? Nah. In fact, the only one they really want is the one that lets them hate homos...

American Christianity is despicable in how far afoul it runs of Christ's message and it's like barely addressed.

Maybe it is because America was originally colonized by dipshit protestants with dumb hats that were so annoying that they managed to get kicked out of England for being too weird.


Like how do you even manage? When my family got kicked out of what was the UK, it was for cool stuff like killing British soldiers and skateboarding.

There's also a law about stoning your child to death if they're disrespectful to you, which would be a boomer's wet dream.

Then maybe Jordan Peterson needs to look up animal homosexuality and how common it is in nature. No, I'm not trying to justify pedophilia it's just that when rightwingers talk about 'the natural order' they usually know nothing about it.
