2. Do you mean like marrying a Platonic friend?

I heard this arguement against gay marriage: "Two heterosexual same sex friends might marry for benefits if we allow same sex marriage."
This already happens in opposite sex couples sometimes, some of who are gay. I don't know how you can really prevent that. That is one reason that I am against polygamous marriages. People who are legally married cannot marry other people without a divorce. That discourages some of that behavior for people who in the future would want to marry someone who they'd really be a spouse to.

3. No, it's not meant like that

The poll is a joke. I'm using the word "gay" as it was used pre-1970, meaning "jovial, merry", the word became to mean "homosexual" in the 1970s. I'm asking about whether heterosexuals should have happy, jovial marriages.

:bounce:

Bearing in mind the use of the word "gay" in this way, someone who is against "gay" marriage, must be for miserable marriage.

I wonder if the republicans succeeding in banning "gay marriages" whether they were use the lazy term "gay marriage" to mean "homosexual marriage". I see comic potential in the fact if the amendment was explicitly stated as banning "gay marriages", that lawyers weaken this as they could argue the definition of the word "gay". One could joke that the amendment would ban "happy" marriages.

5. Good point

I'm in a pretty happy jolly marriage so I guess we have a gay marriage!

Though we do often think it'd be cool to marry my best friend, Diane. She is like a member of our family and is single and both my husband and I love her to death. Her parents are like our family, too.

Diane and I often joke if we were lesbian we'd run off to Massachusetts and get married. So why not make it a three person marriage?

(though there'd be nothing physical with her.....so she'd have to cheat on us!!! LOL!)

6. My wife and I have a "gay marriage"

I feel the same way, my wife and I refer to ourselves as having a "gay marriage", due to how happy we are.

(That was quite funny what you said about a three-way marriage)
