The only requirements used for same-sex marriage is the arbitrary limit of two participants and that they be adults.

It doesn't have to. But no one has challenged the law allowing only two. If you wish to file a lawsuit claiming you should have the right to have more than two, be my guest.

People seem to want to have their opinion spread on everyone even if it doesnt concern them. Being able to speak your opinion is democratic, taking away or preventing freedom is not.

The risk of fraud. It's called bigamy. If you allow people to marry more than one person, there's a risk that one of the people will be unaware that their spouse also has another spouse elsewhere, that's bigamy, that's fraud. That is and should remain illegal.

They'll get over it. The people of the involved states weren't okay with Loving v. Virginia or Brown v. Board of Education, either.

Wow, your state really, really hates gay people.

And by the way, Stillwater sounds like a place that would have a lot of mosquitoes.

Haha... the Republican are so butt hurt over not being able to blanket their personal morality onto everybody. What a shame that they would choose to deny all if not able to discriminate against the few. Sickening. Those people have rotten, dark, and festering hearts.
