The assertion is “Any two people who love each other should be allowed to marry”.

If Sam loves Becky, and Becky loves Sam, Becky and Sam get married.

If Sam also loves Sally, and Sally also loves Sam, who are we to tell Sam and Sally they can’t marry just because Sam is already married to Becky?

If the US Supreme Court does not overturn Gay Marriage their will be not end in sight for anything the human mind can imagine and do in America!

They already did this -- don't you remember their decision to declare that the people of CA had no standing when Prop 8 came to them?

There is no basis for homosexual marriage. At least nature and human biology offers some justification for polygamy.

Sometimes the “slippery slope” argument really IS a slippery slope.

"Is Polygamy the Next Gay Marriage?"

The last thing in the world I want is ten wives.

I love my wife, but sometimes one is more than enough.

I wonder whether we couldn't "normalize" marriage whereby a bunch of guys agreed so as to share a wife.

Kinda like a time share sort of thing.

Years ago, I remember a gathering where I was where there was this gay couple. The subject of gay marriage came up and I said I totally disagreed with the idea. The whole gathering fell silent as if someone was about to be killed. They asked me why and I said if the premise is that this is all about “marriage equality” then the only right way would be to let anyone marry anyone else not just gays. I suggested that this should include polygamists, polyandrists. If a bunch of gay guys wanted to marry they should be able to or a bunch of gay women. They are all taxpayers and should be allowed to.

Their response was that it should be limited to two people only to which I responded that that was not “marriage equality” but privilege for one minority. They were outraged and just threw a dramatic fit about how degenerate that would be to let everyone in the tent. This was an amazing conversation with gays preaching morality.

At the time I believed that since the tent had been broadened, there was no stopping this mess. I believe 50 years from now the whole marriage thing will be thrown back to individuals to do whatever they want. The whole thing is totally unmanageable.

Wow! Ten wives?

That means ten mother-in-laws.

Doesn’t sound too good once I think about it.

the fact that Sam is 42 and Becky is 14 is also irrelevant

if anyone says it shouldn’t be allowed as it disgusting... then they are using the same argument batted down for fag unions. if fags are ok... so are pedophiles.

there is no limit.

only solution would be to either revolt or leave the country

Everyone’s love is the same. Who are we to say that a sheep can’t love with the same heart? Who are we to discriminate against women marrying stallions? These are human / animal rights!

Remember. A camel can also have a broken heart.
