dbc, You missed my first point which had to do with the meaning of the word 'marriage' being changed over time. If marriage meant, as it used to through most of human history, that marriage was only between a man and a woman, then gay marriage would be be legally impossible because of the meaning of words. However, since the dictionary meaning has been changed and now includes same sex marriage, judges would be remiss not to allow gays to marry. Welcome to Newspeak.

I disagree about polygamy. We always hear about if two same sex people love each other they should be able to marry like everyone else. Well then, what if three or more people love each other? I don't understand the sex of people who want to marry is more important than the number of people who want to be married. What on earth would be the government's interest be in limiting the number of marriage partners?
