I've been sitting out this debate, and if I rehash things already stated feel free to spank me appropriately, but this is just wishful thinking. As far as our existence goes, there is no difference between 2 men marryig and a hetero couple marrying. Have you seen the out of wedlock birth rates in this country recently? And are you saying that but/for marriage the human race would not survive?
I don't care much for Constitutional justifications, because (much to my dissappointment) that document does mean all that much these days. But if we are talking what the law should be, I don't see any justification for not letting two men or two woman marry. I see nothing wrong with polygamy either, so long as everyone involved has consented. Fuck the slippery slope, it's a bullshit argument anyway. We are always drawing one line or another. Does that mean once it's drawn, we cannot change it to remedy a misstake?
