On this point, if two people want to have a committed, loving
relationship, why can't three? Why not ten? Where does the number two
come from? Tradition? Society? You're insinuating that polygamy is
wrong.
It sounds like now we're pushing past your comfortable area. I happen
to think marriage is between a man and a woman. You (I'm inferring from
the message) think it's between any two people. Somebody else might
recognize it between six people. Where does it end?

Where does the logic that same-sex marriage logically leads to
polygamy?
Homosexual people also have families. They have children, and
partners, just like you do. How does it being recognized as a legal
contract hurt traditional marriage?

I don't think I agree with you - the basic precept of marriage is to
create a family structure, and swinging violates that precept since it
introduces an outsider into the structure. The family structure is
central to ours and most societies, which is why there is a push for
same sex marriages by homosexual couples. Why get married if you want
to include others? Only for the licensing, as Jim Campbell tells me. I
guess the next logical step for the court to take is to allow marriages
of three or more people - and it will happen.

Realistically adultery is a religious construct. You look at the
various
polyamory movements and swingers and so forth and see groups that
don't
believe in monogamy, and they are perfectly happy with their
choice. Now
obviously you need to look at it kind of like contract law too I
guess. If
you agree to monogamy during your vows you should be somehow
bound, but
altering the vows to allow extra marital relations should
certainly be
allowed. The military has some very out dated laws regarding
sexuality
still. Sodomy of any kind, even when consent is given, is
prohibited.
That's just silly in this day and age.

I was just thinking the same thing...
Obviously, adultery has no consistent meaning in a legal sense and
all
definitions of it should be thrown out until something that works
can be
discovered. This should apply to religious institutions as well.
Should mean Erika is released from any monogomous obligations she
previously felt bound by, Gel.

So let me get this right...
In Massachusetts, same-sex marriages are ok
But in New Hampshire, if you are married and have an affair with
someone
of
the same sex, it is not adultery.
