You seem to be confused as to what marriage is.

If a guy wants to spend his life with two different women, he has nothing stopping him. However, his legal rights and contract with the government (marriage) allows him to marry one person who has a say in the execution of his estate and well being.

You can't really enter into a contract that says the same thing with two different people. I'm not sure why or where the anti gay marriage crowd comes up with these notions. It's really not that difficult to understand.

Not allowing a gay person to marry his SO is much different than a person trying to enter in two identical contracts with two different people.

So to recap, you just keep speaking nonsense that has no bearing on the actual issue of gay marriage.

I understand what marriage is. It's between a man and woman until very recently. Even the word marriage is tied to a latin word for motherhood. Now people want to expand it to "two consenting adults." So why not multiple consenting adults? And yes, you can enter into a contract with multiple people. People do it all the time for business deals, etc

Clue to what? I honestly thought people had heard those terms, it's been around here for awhile.

Just because you can't imagine marrying the same sex doesn't mean you should stop homosexuals from marrying

I'm not stopping homosexuals from marrying, I'm engaging in internet debate because I'm bored right now.

No you cannot enter into a same contract with multiple people. That's idiotic. It doesn't happen at all in business. It doesn't happen ever. How would two wives who were married to the same person execute their rights granted to them as the spouse?

Marriage is a contract between two PEOPLE and the government. Not multiple people, not family members, and not any other whack scenario people like to come up with. It grants them rights based on the law of the land. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with what some people think the traditional marriage is.

Two non related consenting adults is not the same thing as family members getting married.

I'm not sure why people always bring up weird scenarios when talking about Gay marriage.
This hasn't gone over anywhere because you aren't able to throw it that far.

We all know and understand the psychological and genetic implications of an incestuous relationships.

The question is--should YOU and the State have an active role in outlawing a relationship between two consenting adults simply because YOU don't like or approve of the relationship? If you support the 'right' for gays to be legally married--then you should also be in favor of ANY two conesenting adults based on that very same principle.

It happens all the time in business. Contracts are not just between two people you know. And those women would share the rights and responsibilities. Often the estate is sold and divided equally if he passes.

What if you have an even number of spouses, and in an emergency medical situation your spouses evenly split on the course of action that needs to be taken. That would suck.

Also, how many foreign born spouses is one person allowed to sponsor for immigration visas?

If a military member married 20 women, do they all get base housing?
