This is a really tough issue (gay marriage). I'm not sure how we can stop it without invoking religion. I also don't want to be included in the reactionary group that was against Womens right to vote, blacks being 2/3 of a man etc etc. All I can say is that I don't agree that marriage can be between same sex couples. It's how I was raised and it's what I was taught. I wont protest against it but I don't agree with or like it. Jorj is right to this extent....we'll get all lathered up over it when it becomes law and then life will go on

then you enact appropriate laws and enforcement and not use marriage laws (which obviously have no effect) as a scapegoat.

What about Islam? I seem to remember polyamory being sanctioned by Islam? Aren't we violating their religious rights?
