Canada has just launched a funded study to see if Gay Marriage will open the door to polygamy. If you define Gay marriage as union between any two consenting adults how can you prevent polygamy, polyandramy, and all the others. It will create such a mess that the only next step will be to abolish marriage all together. If in public education we have to present all of these forms of union to our children and teach them it is a choice I can guarantee that will be the downfall of public education.
What would stop two consenting adults who are looking for husbands, but haven't yet found them, from organizing a professional union so that one can collect the benefits generated by the other? Think of the benefits to all the unwed mothers who want to stay at home with their babies. All they have to do to receive social benefits is find another consenting female. They wouldn't even need to live in the same house, or be gay. Divorce would become as easy as using a credit card, and no lawyers would get rich because there would be no marriage. Lawyers should consider this carefully.
Then comes the fulfillment of political prophecy.
And, where did this "homophobic" label come from? Do I get to wear it just for supporting traditional sacred marriage? Someone is not looking carefully at the outcomes of dismanteling marriage. Let's keep marriage up there as something sacred and holy. Even saved for one and one only. First sexual experience and last should be within the bounds of legal marriage. How many partners would a gay couple have before they decided to marry one of them, and would they only marry one at at time? I have no idea how they do things. I'm pretty sheltered. And I try to shelter marriage.
