>I assume, then, that you believe homosexuals should be allowed to marry?< I don't know if I'd use the word "marry" because that seems to be a specialty activity/condition of the opposite sexes. Semantic thing. But I do think gay couples should be allowed a ceremony and legal status equivalent to being married - with a divorce-equivalent required to dissolve the partnership. The fun begins with n > 2. I think a triad of men should be rejected as bigamous. >The question you don't address is why these proscriptions started in the first place.< Because I don't know. My approach isn't scholarly. It has more to do with watching people, hearing their stories. While I distinguish between substance use and substance abuse (e.g. habitual drunkenness) it is pretty evident to me that drug addiction is maladaptive - it can routinely escalate to where it overrides the basic will to live and eat. I do not see that liability for maladaption with homosexuality. Certainly there are extreme practitioners, like the "barebacking" parties recently dramatized wherein at least one anonymous partygoer has HIV, but these are nowhere near the norm.
