Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
Completely agree FPRLG.
I think a likely outcome to this debate is that we get rid of state sponsored marriage altogether and let it become purely a ceremonial title (as it should be imo). The only thing state sponsored should be a contract that grants certain rights from one person to another/others. It would be interesting to know when and why marriage law first came to be in the US. My guess would be state sponsored marriage is purely tax code related.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
until everyone has the right to have one marriage, we shouldn't worry about giving everyone the right to multiple marriages. i'm not a mathematician, but i don't believe 3 = 0, 4 = 0, or 50 = 0. i believe that 1 = 1, 3 = 3, 4 = 4, and 50 = 50. please correct my math if i'm mistaken

You know youre using the exact same argument "traditional marriage" proponents use: “Everyone has the right to marry someone of the opposite gender. It youre a gay man you can still marry a women. If you’re a lesbian you can still marry a man. Everyone has the same rights. There are; however, no special rights for lifestyles, for either gay or straight people.” Im with you, I fully support gay marriage. But I also support a person’s right to marry multiple persons. It’s the same thing. I don’t like the idea of the government endorsing or opposing lifestyle decisions for straight people, gay people, or polygamist. If all parties have the capacity to be a willing and agreeing partner our government shouldn’t restrict them.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
I am politically pretty conservative on most issues like economics, the size of government, protection our national security, but when it comes to SSM I honestly could care less. I have several friends who are gay and I say more power to them. It is just not something that concerns me. Lots of other things to be worked up over in my humble opinion.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
i can dig it. to rephrase, i believe everyone should have the right to marry the one they love before we approach the topic of everyone having the right to marry the ones the love.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
Gays can get married anytime they want and there is nothing anyone can do about that.

Re: Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts
I think state sponsored marriage is unconstitutional anyway.
