For a group who say that the government has no business in their bedroom, they are demanding the government's blessing on their bedroom behavior.

Government involvement in licensing marriage, and related matters such as inheritance and rights to make medical decisions, is the problem. In my view, the best way to deal with this is to return marriage and related matters entirely to the private sector. Otherwise, if the gays win on the same-sex marraige issue, there would be no legal foundation on which to bar polygamy, adult-child relationships, and the like.

I do not understand what you mean about "the private sector.' Laws regarding property are explicitly a government function. Property ownership and its orderly transfer are a large measure of the foundation of a successful society.

Otherwise, if the gays win on the same-sex marraige issue, there would be no legal foundation on which to bar polygamy, adult-child relationships, and the like.

This is one of the reasons that the Supreme Court decision about the prime 'right' being the 'right of privacy' is a wrong decision.

How do you do this when three obscure State Supremes can rewrite the definition of marriage and require the legislature to implement their revision within 160 days?
