Gay marriage involves about 4% of the population of the country and is a huge existant fact we must address fairly.


If you are basing it on a percentage of the population rather than principle, then 96% of the population isn't involved in gay marriage, so we shouldn't bother with it. By your logic, if 4% of the population wanted to be able to marry 14 year olds, then we would have to address it because it was a huge existant fact. In fact, I bet the number of men who would marry 14 year olds if it was legal is greater than the number of homosexuals who want to get married. In fact, if you look at the age of consent activism in the gay world, you will see that it is pretty significant. That applies to the straight world too.
Polygamy is a choice. We can work on that one later.

Being bisexual isn't a choice. And if we want to make laws based on principles rather than percentages, then we can't forget them.

You continue to be a hypocrite on this topic. Until you come out for polygamy as much as you come out for gay marriage, you should be dismissed.
