Ted, > Why? The popular vote isn't necessarily a fair or just or legal one. Look how long it took women to get the right to vote.

It eventually happened, didn't it? And it didn't take a judge demanding that alternative definitions of a "man" be given "equal protection."

That's my whole beef, that "equal protection" is being twisted in a way that would justify ANYONE'S definition of a marriage. For example, the following would also fall under "equal protection," at least the way it is being applied:

- Brother marries sister.
- Man marries dog.
- Man marries 12-year-old girl.
- Man marries wife plus four concubines.
- Man marries Ford Mustang.


Look.....if you are equating the union of two gays with the possibilities up above, then you are homophobic. [EOS]

Did you argue that giving blacks and women the right to vote would lead to dogs voting?

Why should gay marriage lead to man/animal marriage anymore than straight marriage would?
