Those protections are good in some cases, but there is also the emotional attachment to marriage. Why deny them that (a lot of gay people seem to be a bit more emotional than average anyway, so let 'em be happy until they find out what divorce is like  )
Who does it harm, and how does it harm them if gays are allowed to marry.? |
I wasn't being sarcastic about "them" I was being sarcastic to your claim that
"Polygamy is not between two consenting adults"
when that is false.
Now we'll end up in a discussion of what the definition of is is... oh wait, what consent is.
What reasons do you have to determine the difference between polygamy and homosexual marriage?
to answer your question, see my response on the historical degradation of society.
