If gay marriage should be legal...?

Do you think if gay marriage should be allowed, then so should polygamy (marriage of 1 person to multiple people)? Or do you feel that gay marriage is monogamous so preserves the integrity of marriage? Please ignore question if you are against gay marriage. Thanks :)

    Marriage should remain between two people. Regardless of gender, the reason is the legalities. Straight or gay, marriage is an agreement between two people.

    More than that becomes a business transaction. Gay marriage anf polygamy are in no way related. Just like interracial marriage and polygamy aren't.

    Gay marriage is monogamous like any other marriage. If you want a polygamous married relationship, you have to make many marriage.

    Personally, I don't see why you couldn't mary many persons. Some people don't like it because that way one person is always forgotten in the relationship, for instance if a women mary 2 guys, she could end up loving the second guy while the fist guy needs her. But that's a mather of communication between the persons involved. May it be gay or heterosexual mariage, my opinion dosen't change.

    Also, personaly, I'm against marriage, but that's another story :p

    Monogamy is good for the community, and we should get everyone possible into it. It save the government a lot of money when people take care of each other in that relationship.

    Polygamy has a terrible track record as a social system. Countries that allow it have high rates of unmarried men just because there aren't enough women to go around. The crime rates are very high, the governments aren't stable and their economies suck. Human rights are suppressed. Why would we go there?

    Gay marriage should be illegal because it degeneralises nature. Lets think about, males cant get pregnant, therefore, it will cause decline on the future human evolution. However, Gay married couples will also decrease the number of abandoned children if they sign for adoption, as long as they are in under trust.

    Poligamy should DEFINITELY be legal! It causes rapid increase in a race growth especially with all these immigrants emigrating nowadays, also creates more races and then eventually more countries (its the only way Dakota can be independant) then I can create a mixed generation of all flavours by falling asleep with which race I fancy a night HAHAHAHA

    Umm.. there is a huge difference between Gay Marriage and Polygamy (Gay marriage: They marry one person. Polygamy: Marries one and has has multipule "wives") so you shouldn't compare these two together.

    considering gay marriage is only marriage to one person, despite the number of vaginas and penises in the relationship, its still between two people and polygamy is just stupid and overrated.

    I believe it should be up to them, as long as it does not physically hurt someone else, it should be legal. Everyone should be able to make up the decision on their own. :)
