I will tell you that a marriage is between one man and one woman. Period.

You can do all your loving you want as long as I do not have to see it and do not have demand rights as normal and real marriages between and man and a woman.
What makes you so right about this?

Once gay marriages are recognized there is nothing standing in the way for this to occur next.
I like the plural marriage. It sure would be nice to spend the day doing things I like while my five wives are at their jobs to earn money for me.
Nyuk! Nyuk!

I agree. I don't know how they'd deal with taxes for plural marriages, though.

The ignorance fueled arrogance of people like the thread starter, who try to paint their own wacked-out word view as "normal", just drops my jaw. Every time I think I have heard it all - someone on this forum proves me wrong.

We need to make a distinction between the religious sacrament of marriage and the legal marriage contract. Religious organizations can do whatever they want to, of course. Regarding the civil concept of marriage, its nothing but a contract.

I think polygamy will be a totally separate issue. However if a man want to make a marriage contract with two other people or any number of people in any combination I say have at it. I don't know why anyone would want to do this but its really none of my business. Nobody's life would be affected one way or the other if this were to happen. Except, perhaps, the poor sap who picks up several ex-wives to support at one time.

Now, before you go and extend this into "Why can't a man marry his dog if he wants to" let me point out that for a contract to be legal there has to be a meeting of the minds and both parties have to sign the contract.

Homosexual marriage will erode the family values of American society which venerate marriage between male and female to the eventual degradation of interpersonal relationships between a male and female. homosexuals engage in abnormal sexual practices because it is the physical act of sex defines what and who a homosexual is.
Whooooa, wait a minute! The foundation of our society is on the rocks? Geeez! If you believe that I can understand why you are so adamant on the subject.

Whether you like it or not and whether it is legal or not there ARE gay families right now and some of them include children. Guess what? The sky is not falling. Recognizing these families will not diminish family values. It will stregthen family values.

Gays are a small minority in any culture. How is allowing this small minority to marry going to affect the massive majority that is the rest of society?

Your view of things is massively unrealistic.
