Yes because it is none of my business who wants to commit to whom or why they feel they wish to do so. As long as it is 2 consenting adults (incest being the exception) no harm no foul.

I'm speaking hypothetically. If you're going to respond with "the vast majority of scientists say people ARE born gay and sexual orientation is not a choice," no need to respond. I already know.

If you would still support gay marriage despite a scientific revelation, what are your reasons?


why can't you people give it a rest??
good grief

Funny, I can go to city hall and get a marriage license, not a civil union license. No religious ceremony needed.

You people? I support gay marriage.

Typical Democrat jumping the gun, almost making Republicans look dignified.

Selective reading issue, methinks.

You must've missed the fact that most of us actually do support poly marriage.

What do you have against polyandry? You only seem to bring up polygamy when you are trying to attack same-sex marriage.

Same-sex marriage advocates claim that more than two is undoable but that's bull ****!

What they really mean is they don't want same-sex marriage to lose it's exclusive status as the only other state approved marriage arrangement equivalent to traditional marriage because then it would no longer make homosexuality officially equal to heterosexuality.

What panic?
I have no problem with polygamy, as long as all involved are consenting adults.
Histrionic much?

Im sure there is a gay gene or some miswire somewhere. But thats up to scientists to find out.
So how does it come about that people choose to indulge in homosexuality? Do they give straight sex a try to see how good that feels? And then they give gay sex a try to see how good that feels. And conclude they gotta choose to be gay, because having gay sex feels wilder and better?
