The projection is indeed real.
Teachers who mention sexuality are 'grooming' kids, conservatives say

Jesus fuck, those stats of child marriage are insane. How the fuck can you fucking go along with that
I'm assuming those states still have age limits on marriage and most of those are teens. For example a 17 year old marring a 19 year old.
Some 96% of the children wed were age 16 or 17, though a few were as young as 10
Further, when girls married, their average spousal age difference was four years, whereas when boys married, their average spousal age difference was less than half that: 1.5 years
Some 60,000 marriages since 2000 occurred at an age or spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime.
McGill University's analysis of Unchained's data found 34,943 to 40,224 marriages since 2000 occurred at an age or with a spousal age difference that should have constituted a sex crime under the relevant state's law. In some 80%, sex became legal within marriage; in the other 20%, sex within the marriage was a crime. Unchained added to the analysis the estimated 23,588 children married in California between 2000 and 2018, all of whom fit in the first category.
A minor who manages to run away from a forced marriage probably has nowhere to go, since Unchained has found that most domestic violence shelters do not accept unaccompanied minors.
Minors who leave home to escape from an abusive spouse or impending forced marriage are typically considered runaways under state law. Police might return them to their homes against their will; in some states, minors can be charged with a status offense for running away.
Perhaps most shockingly, children typically are not allowed to initiate a legal proceeding – such as seeking a protective order or filing for divorce – unless they act through a guardian or other representative, under state law.
There is no federal legislation in the United States regarding the minimum age for marriage, and states are allowed to set their own parameters. Currently, child marriage is legal in 44 states
It's always projection with these clowns. Call Democrats pedophiles while the real pedos are in the mirror.The "anti-pedophile" party of "family values" wants to make it legal for grown ups to marry children.

Various religions are used as a factor.
We really have to stop allowing this to be the excuse for terrible shit.
Yeah but its different when they want to fuck kids.Aren't these the types of people that criticize Islam because "Muhammad married a child"?
This as Republicans are steadily increasing the efforts to paint Democrats as pedophiles.
Doesn't that boil down to the age-old marriage vs. civil unions discussion?This article is kinda burying the lead. The main issue here is that this is an effort to delegitimize gay marriage by creating a secondary class of marriage exclusively for heterosexual couples, which could then be used to allow discrimination or provide unique benefits that those in gay marriage wouldn't get.

HB 233 Summary: Removes the requirement that individuals must possess a marriage license prior to a marriage ceremony. Requires the Attorney General to defend local officials in actions brought against them for issuance or failure to issue a marriage license or if represented by private counsel, with defense costs being reimbursed by the state.
The GOP only know 2 things. Gaslighting and projecting.
and pedophilia
3 things
Unfortunately, child marriage is legal in Blue states as well. Before they say anything, they need to make the legal marriage age as 18.If Democrats had any sense, they would be blasting this all over the place.
They always let Republicans control the narrative.
44 states!?

The second bit is that they left out age requirements. Maybe on purpose, maybe not, but let's not lose sight here. The whole bill needs to be scrapped. GOP can pretty easily just say "ok we added age requirements, see, we're working with you!!!11!" and pass the super homophobic bill. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist here but getting outraged over the lack of age requirements primarily may just be playing into their hands.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN TENNESSEE???
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN TENNESSEE???
These motherfuckers are always projectingWho knew "gay marriage will lead to legalizing pedophilia" was actually a threat.
This is legitimately disgusting,.
