Most people already know that I am against gay marriage. And no, I dont want to have another debate on the matter.
But every time I talk to a gay (more like debate with a gay) he or she always says the following.
"If they want to be together who are we to separate them?"
"The government should not be allowed to control who gets married?"

Okay, so if that's really true whats to stop 7 men from marrying each other?
I just want to know if gays think it's okay more more than 2 people to marry and be able to adopt.

2nded. There are terrible parents currently that are allowed to have kids. Why shouldn't people who actually want to have kids and will teach them to live better be able to sire them?

The government should not be allowed to reward the married, either.

Anyway, no real point in stopping adoption, either.
When Charles Dickens uses run-on sentences, it's considered style. When I use run-on sentences, it's considered bad grammar.

What do you have against polygamy, Koopin?
Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours.

I'm serious. Why should that be illegal?

Love is already difficult to share. Sharing wives/husbands increases rivalries, jealousy, and neglect. These can lead to serious psychological issues, divorce, or even increased counts of domestic violence. And Studies show that children from polygamist families have high rates of psychological problems, including ADHD, depression, and social disorders. Psychologists link this to problem #2 above. Children in these relationships do not get the special attention and care they need.

Also, one could say why not let children get married to an older person.
One legalization leads to another and so on.

Why not?
