Marriage used to be defined as between a man and a woman of the same race only. That was the moral standard.

Moses was married to a black woman.

And let's also not pretend that there's no difference between recognizing relationship between two people, regardless of sexual orientation, and multiple partners.

Homosexual "marriage" has NEVER been recognized. Polygamy and polyandry have.

Using the logic of the Canadian court decision, I can see no reason why marriage should be restricted to "two" or to "persons".
