It's probably worth noting people are horribly abusing the facts with a lot of citations of 'rights' going on here, however, for the sake of argument, can anyone justify gay marriage without justifying polygamy or incest and without mentioning procreation or two?
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people.

I still do not see how you think marriage is a "pointless" institution

No, I was referring to same-sex marriage. Real marriage hardly counts as a novelty. *NM*

Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad.

The point is that marriage IS a right, one which cannot be denied based upon sexual orientation *NM*

It doesn't say a man can only marry a woman or vice versa, though.

The fact that it is capable of authorizing the use of military force makes it an enforcement body
