As predicted by many, it has happened, the world's first three-way gay marriage. In Thailand, three gay men, known only as Art, Bell and Joke, exchanged marital vows in a wedding sanctioned by the Buddhist church, but not by the government, which officially forbids same sex marriage. While the announcement was just made public, the trio married on Valentine's Day in the countrys Uthai Thani Province. According to Bell, Some people may not agree and are probably amazed by our decision, but we believe many people do understand and accept our choice. Love is love, after all.
Unfortunately, Bell, along with advocates of same sex marriage, has a misguided view of marriage. As noted by Brian Brown, President of the National Association of Marriage, it is an institution that serves to bind the complementary halves of humanity male and female in a publicly declared relationship that is designed to be stable, permanent, exclusive and faithful. Brown believes the main reason why men and women come together in holiday matrimony is that this sacred union offers the potential for children... and children are why the government is interested in marriage in the first place.
Sorry, Bell, the institution of marriage is not just about love. Marriage has throughout human history been the best method to not only unite couples together, but also to propagate our species. Advocates of same sex marriage are making a mockery of this precious institution and opening the door for even more creative interpretations such as three-way unions.
Incredibly, the gay threesome in Thailand is not the first throuple to become married. In August of 2013 in Massachusetts, three lesbian women, Doll, Kitten and Brynn Young were married in a commitment ceremony. Through a sperm donor, Kitten became pregnant and the women welcomed their first child last July. Just imagine the weird environment that this poor child will have to navigate throughout life. Ideally, children should have a mother and father and be exposed to both male and female role models during their formative years, not three lesbians, each serving as the child's mother.
These three-way marriages are only one manner in which the traditional concept of marriage is under assault in 2015. In the United States and other countries, there has been a well funded and highly publicized campaign to extend the definition of marriage to same sex couples. Liberal politicians and popular celebrities have joined together to show strong support for the right of gays and lesbians to marry. Today, 37 states recognize same sex marriages, although it has been approved by voters in only a handful of areas. Sadly, judges are disregarding the wishes of the majority of voters in several dozen states to officially sanction same sex marriages.
The mantra from liberal activists is that to deny marital rights to same sex couples is to engage in discrimination. In contrast, it is not discrimination to demand that the definition of marriage be limited to the union of one man and one woman. Homosexuals can have a civil union, a partnership, or whatever kind of arrangement they want, but not a marriage. Once society expands the definition of marriage, where will it end? Can it be expanded to family members, animals or multiple people?
As Joke noted, the acceptance of same sex marriage in Thailand paved the treacherous path for their three-way union. Now Thai society has a better understanding of sexual orientation as many same sex weddings appear on TV, newspapers and social media, we feel more accepted and able to come out, he said.
With three-way marriages today in Thailand and Massachusetts, who knows what surprises will be coming to a community near you.
What's new about that?
“Coast to Coast” anyone?
Yeah right, like YOU never listened to it . . .
I wondered what happened to Art Bell.
Had to retire due to a bad back. Pity, his shows were allot more entertaining than the new guy. I miss all the crazies that called in to Art.
As far as the 3 way marriage, they assured us that this would never happen; that it was crazy talk.
Is Joke his real name? Art,Bell,and Joke?? Are all these real Thai names or are they made up?
The argument that same-sex marriage would lead to group marriage proved very prescient.
The one I never heard projected was the same-sex-group-marriage.
I think it’s about time the state get out of the marriage business. It made sense when the state promoted heterosexual marriage as a way to strengthen the institution of the family. But now the state is destroying traditional marriage and the family by changing its meaning. Unfortunately, we cannot go back to the day when the state was acting as a force for good; but we can weaken its support for evil by reducing its clout in the process.
The state could issue civil unions which would include legal mechanisms concerning issues with regards to property for minor family members. Or the state could do nothing and consider existing relationships as de facto families for legal purposes.
Marriage should be the union of a man and woman (excepting first relations) under God’s law. A marriage should be consecrated in a Holy place such as a church. The state is evil, dirty and base and should not contaminate a Holy union.
I wonder if some churches will or are recommending a church marriage without a state marriage license because of the debasing involvement of the state.
These are the three Queers
Article about them
There are many more articles about them in other links
I'm sure I missed a lot (oatmeal on the face?) but my point is that if all you want to do is stimulate body parts for sexual release, it's all out there.
Now if you want to fulfill God's commandment to be fruitful and multiply, if you want a relationship that's stable and contributes to society as a whole, if you want actual love and caring in the long run, that's different.
Wow!
I don’t even want to know what their wedding night will be like.
So does Buddhism sanction homosexual marriage, or polygamy now? This article indicates that Thailand doesn’t allow it but this marriage was sanctioned by a Buddhist church.
Coming a school near you: beastiality, pedophilia, necrophilia, BDSM and perversions most people never heard of.
...and the hermaphrodites.
East of the Rockies, you’re on the air. Personally I liked Art more than George Noory. Some of the callers are hilarious.
At least those Buddhists had the guts to actually do it even though the state doesn’t agree with them yet. Most of the Christian faith groups that have accepted ‘gay marriage’ wouldn’t marry their gays until the state they happened to be in patted them on the head and told them it was OK.

Laz, is that you?
It may be the first, but certainly not the last, time the cops will be sent on a domestic disturbance call to their little love nest. Homosexuals are unstable people, and they are frequent law enforcement consumers when it comes to domestic spats.
Art,Bell and Joke = Sum, Ting, Wong
Come on now. He retired at least 3 times.
