Well, we have gotten off track.
My basic argument for gay marriage is that consenting, non-blood-related adults should be allowed to arrange their lives as they see fit. Part of that is the ability to sign a legal contract that is commonly called "marriage." Mind you, that is something different than the religious rite of marriage.
To explain how this is consistent with opposition to no-fault divorce, as marriage is a contract, no-fault divorce is a breaking of the contract without cause.
I have some stuff that needs to be done, so if I don't respond quickly to any further responses, that's the reason.

According to that argument you really do think that Marriage should be expanded to include any life-arrangement. That would obviously include polygamy and any other union imaginable.
