Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Once gay marriages permeate most of the states, or all of them, in the US, it might not open the floodgates to everything. I do not think I will live long enough to see a time where someone can legally marry and animal, at least I hope I don’t. I will say it, and take the flax for it too, that any gay person who would want to bar polygamous, (or other plural marriages), and incestuous marriages are a disingenuous fraud. It is like saying. “Those straight people are the ‘A’ team and they have the gold standard of relationship, which is why we want it. Not to have it the same way makes us less than. Those people over there in the ‘C’ team are having what they have outside the construct of the ‘A’ team, but since we are the ‘B’ team, and thus, closer to the ‘A’ team than them, we should get what we want and they can wait another X amount of years before they are worthy to have it.”
If you want so much to separate church and state then there is nothing to prevent polygamy or even incestuous marriages. There can be rules put into place to address any concerns, and to try to use the red herring of government getting in the bedroom, they already do,—maybe not much for most, but they do, even in the household to a greater extent—, is a duck, dodge and hide maneuver. Like trying to say you can’t count a slippery slope, it don’t mean anything. Just because A happens, D won’t ever happen and we will never see Z.
As much as people would hate to have to admit, in the US many basic laws are riding the back of Judea/Christian ethics, that came with the original settlers when they fled Europe, if I am not mistaken, in part to get from under the Pope. Outside of religion, gay marriage is on the same footing and in the same boat as polygamy and incestuous marriages. The only reason why incestuous marriages did not take hold after the walls to interracial marriages, which was not the whole US anyhow, started to crumble was the ick factor of it; the Judea/Christian residue stuck in general society. There have been unions between different races for centuries. Even while the settlers were slaughtering the Native Americans and stealing their land many found it OK to marry some.
Interracial unions IMO got more traction than gays is because gay unions biologically hold up to interracial marriages and unions. Man and women naturally go together biologically, to produce another human. Unless there is some medical condition that leaves one sterile, that is the case way more times than not. Just as I am using this computer to create this post, men and women are like software, and hardware. If I had two towers here and no OS (the software) to run it, they would serve as two very large paperweights, with whirling fans and blinking lights but no work would come of them. The monitor would have no useful info on it. If I was to get rid of both towers and got two discs with operation systems on it, I am no better off. I might as well use them as drink coaster, because I would have no way to extract the information off them. A Blank man, and a white woman, or Hispanic woman and an Asian man, can still produce a child, naturally, with out having to go to doctors and perform extraordinary measures. If it were not for the ”ick factor” even incestuous unions win in that arena.
The way I see it, all the saber rattling and ballyhoo the GLBT community is doing to get theirs but trying to distance themselves from those “nasty polygamist”, and even “nastier inbreeds” is just plain disingenuous if they want me to take them seriously. If it is truly abut freedom and equality with no religious undertones, then everyone gets on the boat, you don’t leave some to flounder in the water because you don’t like what they are wearing or the music they dance to.
