Reply #38: Whatever. Get the government out of the marriage business.

Civil unions for all consenting adults, like in Holland. If you want the religious ceremony of marriage, find a church that'll bind you before God. But, so long as heteros have marriage, us homo should have equal treatment under the law; so until then, marriage for us.

If twelve bisexuals want to marry one another, that's grand for them. I don't care. If they want to split the 12th share of their house 11 ways when one of them dies, grand for them, hire a lawyer.

If twelve adult heterosexual women want to marry one man, grand for them. Especially if they're humping each other in the meanwhile.

The real problem, to me, sounds like religion and pedophilia, not polygamy or organizing your life the way you please.

Personally, I won't go to a heterosexual wedding. I did three years ago and it really rubbed me the wrong way. It's a little like watching the whites drink at the drinking fountain when the coloreds only fountain's out of order. I also get irritated when straight people interrupt functions to announce their weddings in mixed company. What am I supposed to say? I'm happy that you have the legal right to visit your partner in the hospital when she's ill. Usually, these people have been together for less time than I have with my own partner, and we can't even cuddle in front of her family on Christmas Eve.

Don't get me started.....
