Of course, that is our secret agenda -- "we" being the polygamists -- and we are in bed with the gays to bring this plan to fruition. (We fund our secret movement by selling porno flicks.) Once we bring an end to marriage, we intend to target charity, basic human decency, and hydroelectric power, in that order.

Nothing of the sort was alleged by me. My point is that it is hypocritical of people to argue that gays should be allowed to marry each other on the basis that it is wrong to discriminate but yet feel it is OK to discriminate against a person whose religion teaches them polygamy is necessary to achieve godhood.
I think the fundamentalist mormons are freaky wierd (actually, I think all mormons are freaky wierd), but I also think that gay marriage is not about being against discrimination it is about getting to choose who you discriminate against. You don't approve of the freaky wierd fundamentalist mormons and you approve of gays so you think it is OK to discriminate against those you don't approve of but not OK to discriminate against those you do approve of.
That is my point.
