    Why NOT gay marriage? What does it damage? Does it really weaken the moral fiber of America? Does it "teach" children to be gay? Does it really "redefine" marriage for the vast amjority of Americans?

    Why force them out of the protections that the rest of us take for granted?

    D'Oh...meant to multi-quote and I forgot. Mea culpa for the double post.

    Sorry to get off topic....
    May not be a sound argument, but it is a good question...should three (or 14) consenting, loving adults be allowed to marry?

    It is off topic. it is also a good question! Maybe a mod could split this thread starting from this post. Would be fun to see where it goes!

    to quote myself:
    "Polygamy
    If anyone is dumb enough to try and put up with 7 wives concurrently, I say we let him go right ahead and ruin his life… it’s none of our business how miserable he is. If a woman thinks she is hot enough to keep 3 guys faithful to her, she is welcome to try. The GAD believes in allowing people to make all sorts of stupid mistakes and then letting them learn from it, and this is no exception. As long as two or more people of consenting age sign a binding contract, they can do whatever they want. The GAD thinks that the government has got lots more important stuff to do (repairing parking meters, etc, etc.) than to waste much time and taxpayer dollars trying to dictate to our citizens how they should live in private.


    DNC: People should get married however they want, to whatever they want, even houseplants.
    GOP: If it is not ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN, then it is wrong, and God will SMITE you.
    me: We SO do not care."
