(not that I agree with it, but for discussion purposes)
To All:
I agree with Love_Spell on this and brought up the polygamy situation pages ago. If people are going to try and redefine marriage, then you will HAVE to recognize other facets of it as well.
Just as there are those that say its not fair for the US to maintain a religious viewpoint as to what constitiutes a marriage, there will be others that say its not fair that for a marriage to only consist of two people.
Hey, maybe my idea to for the federal gov't to eliminate the "married" classification as it relates to the "single" classification will happen afterall.

Hey Honeykiss..
You asked Dionysus to respond..but I know that I made the statement and I'm not sure if you meant me...but I'll respond to it anyway.. I actually have Muslim friends that have been raised by a father and several moms...because Muslim men can do this according to their religion...and needless to say their perceptions of women and their roles are archaic IMO. I'm not sure if that's just them specifically...or that's what their religion teaches them. I just know that once you re-define marriage to include more than just a man and a woman...anything goes. There are craazies out there that will use this ruling to suit their lifestyles..whether its with six wives or an animal. I'm not sure why this is so shocking to people...especially since stuff like this comes up in the news from time to time....but before this court ruling it just wasn't a legal union. I guess polygamy falls more under immoral than perverted..but either way I just don't think the definition of marriage should've been changed from including ONLY a man and a woman...but oh well...
Either way..the court ruling has opened up the floodgates for this type of thing..this is just the beginning.
PS - Honeykiss..thanks for asking me to discuss how I felt vs. calling me a name or bashing me for my opinion!! Its getting pretty hot up in hurr over this topic
