I think it's great. I hope the upcoming Supreme Court decisions make some changes on the national level.

Seriously? What has this country become? The supreme court should grant marriage for all? Ugh, what a joke. If they do, then polygamy should be legalized too.

Why should the government be involved in anyone's marriage? Marry whomever you want, regardless of what the government says. They have no business judging anyone's marriage!

I am in favor of allowing polygamy, as long as they are all consenting adults.

But the reality is, I don't care enough about the issue to base any of my voting decisions on a candidate's stance.

I am baffled that some have such strong feelings about what other consenting adults choose to do with each other.

Good for them, IMHO, it is the right thing to do. We don't have a national religion so nobody should force their beliefs onto another.
