Not in America.   One man, one vote.   One man, one voice. 

We're all equal, remember?

Your retardedness makes so much sense now. You treat all sources as equally credible.

How does Louis Gohmert affect you?  What's the harm?

Anyways, remember the old Chinese saying: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".  Moving marriage beyond one man, one woman is the first step.

Thirty years ago, SSM in America seemed inconceivable.  Now, apparently it's here to stay.  The traditional institution of marriage is now broken and thrown out onto the curb.  Why would bigamy or polygamy as a future step seem so inconceivable to you?  Modern society has ****** up marriage this far, what's the harm of ******* it up more?

Are you still married? Explain how it's broken.

Marriage in America is no longer between one man and one woman.  That's how it is broken.

It is still between one man and one woman. It just also includes gay couples too.

How is that broken?

If it also includes gay couples, then it's not "one man and one woman".

"The same, but different" is not "the same".

It's not exclusively one man/one woman, but marriage still includes one man/one woman. Explain how it's broken. Different isn't always bad.

Different isn't always good.  Sometimes different is a disaster.

Here's an example of a "different" way of air travel:

Oh great. It's pretty easy to explain why those were bad. What's bad about allowing gays to marry in addition the straight couples?

You're never going to convince a social conservative that allowing same-sex couples of consenting adults to marry isn't going to break marriage.  There are still places in the world where 12- and 13-year-old girls are forced into arranged marriages with 30-40+ year old men they've never met, and historically this was really quite common.  That's just fine.  But two men who are in love and committed to one another getting married really breaks down the principles of the institution.

And oh, by the way, everyone who favors "traditional marriage" likes to claim that marriage has "always been defined as existing between one man and one woman" and ignoring the fact that for thousands of years the most powerful men in the world could have tens, hundreds, or in some cases even thousands of wives.  For example, King David, and likely most of the other early kings of the Israelites.  God's chosen people...

It certainly bastardizes the traditional meaning and purpose of it.

Purpose! That's a new one. What's the purpose of marriage? Because I don't see a difference, so maybe this will help me better understand where you're coming from.
