Santorum Booed in New Hampshire While Discussing Gay Marriage

[usrname]

23. An interesting post from Huff Post

The Hensel Twins (google them) are conjoined twins, but are legally considered as two separate people even though they share a singular body below the necks. One is already engaged to be married. Suppose she does get married, wouldn't that necessitate being in a polygamous relationship? And if the other also gets married, then there definitely will be two husbands and the twins living under one roof (actually, they can live in any arrangement they want: each husband could be living in separate coasts for all I care, and the twins live somewhere else).

Bottom line: if they live under one roof, then it would have to be considered a polygamous relationship in a legal sense. Both husbands must have to agree to mutual medical/health/survivorship agreements. Both husbands must contribute to the raising of any children involved, regardless of who provided the sperm, or should just the biological father be required?

This is an interesting legal puzzle and certainly defeats the black-and-white world that Santorum lives in. I wonder how he could resolve his stance.

Lastly, it's vividly clear that the problem for Santorum with regards to polygamy is the sex. He's so effin' juvenile snickering about what three people might do sexually. People can and do get married with no intention to have sexual relations. Sex and marriage have very little connection in modern times. There are many married couples that don't even live in the same time zone (not necessarily by choice, mind you).
