This is only for two people, right? What’s wrong with three? Are these legislators triphobic???
FReepers were discussing the legal ramifications of “same sex marriage” years ago. One of the points made early on was the limit to just two people. The courts ruled homosexuals could marry, because we were depriving them of the right to marry whoever they loved.
If man and wife is a completely arbitrary thing, why the two-person limit? Who are we to say that someone can only love and form a lifetime union with only one other person?
And what about bisexuals? How can we say it’s OK for gays to marry someone they are sexually attracted to, but it’s not OK for a bisexual to do the same? Aren’t we depriving them of a fundamental human right?
Why not marriage among 13 people? Are they trisdekaphobiacs?
“This is only for two people, right? What’s wrong with three?”
I suspect that this may be why we’re seeing the LDS/Romney pivot on this issue. Perhaps the Mormons are thinking about “getting the band back together.” The bands of wives, that is.
