Very true. And I can understand that such a huge change is scary. Heck, I was in college before I even knew there was such thing as homosexuality. Gays were very much stuck "in the closet" just a couple of decades ago, and I certainly never thought I'd live to see the day that gays and lesbians could legally marry. Despite my open-mindedness, it's still a huge change....but imo a good one.

Using your apparent definition, then, NO I am not in favor of marriage equality. OK? Good enough?

ALL that I am in favor of is for any two unrelated consenting adults to marry each other. That's it. Not THREE, not a GROUP, not BLOOD-RELATED.....because I don't believe in your farcical "definition" of EQUALITY. I admit that I pick and choose which people should be allowed to get married, just like YOU do SOPHIASMOMMY. I just happen to include gays and lesbians on my list.
Yes. Than do not cite it as a reason for your support of the redefintion of marriage. Do not be a hypocrite.

Ok, so you concede that ONLY men and women AND homosexuals should be allowed to marry. Why are you being intolerant and bigoted towards other groups of people that wish to marry?

Why? You have a long history of personally attacking and insulting anyone that has an opinion that differs from your own. Care you address the topic or just continue to name call?

Either you believe in marriage equality or you do not. I am simply holding you to your own standards. Defend your position.

I am perfectly fine with polygamy, polyandry, and homosexual marriage.

Science.

Polygamy is ok and so is polyandry. Incest is not. The current law doesn't really support multiple marriages though. So maybe we should scrap the tax code altogether.

Yeah, at one point in time people said the same thing about interracial marriage and dating. Somebody fought for my right to date and marry someone from another race and I feel obligated to continue that trend.

Scientifically, polygamy is ok, but not incest. Are you not aware of genetic defects that inbreeding creates?

who is asking for related marriage? You're trying to say I must support a law no one...to my knowledge is asking for.

Have any polygamist groups written preliminary rules of mutiple marriage partners and addressed all the legal ramifications to having muliple partners. Seems to me, if a group wants rights and previledges, they must give notice and a workable plan.

Until they do, It hard to know what they seek.

You would do yourself a great service if you did some simple gooogling before posting...

A Long Tradition Of Same Sex Marriage
Gay marriage is as old as history, rooted in the mists of antiquity.

As for polygamy, who cares? If the couples are digging it, it's their issue.

Your incest comparison is off the wall and I already voiced my opinion on that one...
