To be perfectly honest here, if the second wife (and the first) are into polygamy and there isn't some kind of crazy cult thing going on with it where the women are more or less slaves, then I really don't care.

I really love, though, how you're reverting to the pedophilia thing. Because pedophilia is totally comparable with a relationship between two consenting adults.

Again... CONSENTING adults.

Straight guys never get blowjobs from anonymous women they meet in nightculbs.

Ever.

Bottom line is that we all have the right to marry--the question is whom and how. You want to be able to marry people of the same gender---something none of us have. That's not "equal" right---that's "special" rights--as they apply to only a very small fringe minority.
From a legal standpoint you have this situation completely reversed. By NOT allowing same-sex marriage you are creating a special class of people as defined by Supreme Court precedents and treating them differently by discriminating against them. This is exactly why Proposition 9 in California was overturned in federal court.

Wrong. It's an expansion of rights for everybody. No matter what your sexual orientation is, you would have a right to marry someone of the same sex or of the opposite sex. It's about freedom and liberty for all.

I go to an a gym where 95% of the clientele are gay men. You might think that the bathrooms and showers would be very active, but they're not. This is because most of the guys who go to this gym are out of the closet. They have no need to fool around in inappropriate places because they have nothing to hide.
I do have a qualification on this subject. For 20 years I represented the largest gay dance bar in my town as their attorney. I know far more about this than I would ever want to know. And, far more about it than anyone other than the recepticles of this sexual activity.
And, as a single hetero guy for the several of the sexual revolution's most outrageous periods, I think I can say with confidence that there is absolutely no comparison with the disgusting, dysfunctional, and unhealthy activity of gays compared to straights. Having said that, it is their business and not mine. But to compare the sexual risk factors of gays to straights, is ridiculous.

Every word in that sentence is subjective. You should know that being an attorney and all.

Here is what is not subjective. Sex crimes are committed more frequently by heterosexual males than homosexual ones. It is a fact, not an opinion.

I'm sure you are correct, but what does that have to do with my post?
