Not really at all though. It very specifically stated marriage was a union between two people and should be recognized regardless of gender. So I'm not sure how that muddles everything when it comes to polygamous marriages. Seems to do quite the opposite actually.

Really? 2 people? How is that the constitutional definition? Where does that magical number come from? A court changes the definition but only for one group? How is that equality under the law?

I totally agree with where you're going. The decision was a major blow for people who want to marry 6 people, or their cats, or probably more applicable in the near future... their computer. What can you do though? For now we'll just have to celebrate this one small step for marriage equality

Guess I'm still missing the equality part. And you can't explain where that magic number comes from. And why the definition only changes for one group of people and not everyone else. So much for true equality under the law.I totally agree with where you're going.

It's not complicated. I'm agreeing with you. Polygamy should be legal.

Ask yourself why you care so much. Does it change your life in any way? Why can't gays and lesbians be miserable like the rest of us married folk. Lol.

Of course that dynamic lacks biblical precedence, but the times they are a changin.

The bible is about as relevant in this day and age as the Constitution.

I agree with your sentiment, but it's only as important or unimportant as people make it. I'm in the bible belt and I can assure you, for better or worse, they're both pretty damn important. Just the way it is.
I knew it! It was a muslim plot all along!

The more victories that accumulate for gay rights, the faster some gay institutions, rituals and markers are fading out. And so just as the gay marriage movement peaks, so does a debate about whether gay identity is dimming, overtaken by its own success.
“What do gay men have in common when they don’t have oppression?” asked Andrew Sullivan, one of the intellectual architects of the marriage movement. “I don’t know the answer to that yet.”

No you don't.
So gay folks should be grateful for oppression? That's just stupid.

Scott Walker is on record as stating he asks for Gods guidance on all his important decisions. Maybe if he had prayed harder our state budget wouldn't be such a mess.
