I think this country lost its right to ban gay marriage when it allowed divorce. The idea of the "sanctity" of marriage is only being protected in terms of homosexual, not in the means of vegas quickies, or professional divorcees. How can you legitimately support a ban of marriage, and not push for a ban on divorce?

The murder rate in the country would go up exponentially.

They can consent to be killed? How about father and daughter?

Once you remove the argument of morality, I just don't see where it ends.

hijack

If we're going to argue that one should have the freedom to pledge one's love to whomever one chooses, then should siblings be allowed to marry?

I don't know that I would fight against incestuous marriages if they were ever to be up for national discussion. Anyway, I went to high school with a guy who grew up with his step-sister from the time they were infants. They ended up marrying.

More than any other discussion on GC over the years, I feel like I'm watching 5 year olds debate social issues.
