[quote=AN][quote=markmax33®]I will not be taking advantage of legalized gay marriage, but I have no objections.
I also have no plans to practice polygamy or incest, but I would not object to either. If consenting adults want to consider themselves married I say let them, regardless of their number, sexual orientation or their common ancestors.

+1. Why just gay marriage? Why not open up marriage to all? Including polygamy, incest, and bi-sexual relationships. As long as they’re all consenting adults, they all should be legal.
I’d like to know how many people who support gay marriage also support polygamy? I’ll go first… I do.[/quote]
I do, but only if ALL first/prior spouses consent as well. Cheating (which is what a disapproving first spouse would call polygamy) is not a victimless act, so the people who would be most negatively affected are the ones who need to consent.
Regarding incestual marriages, we had two couples in my family (born in the 1800s) who married first cousins; neither couple had kids. They were very happy marriages that lasted until their deaths. That being said, I don’t think closely-related people should have children together. Also, there should be restrictions regarding parent-child or “old-young” incestual relationships. These relationships would be difficult for me to accept under any circumstance.
