I haven't seen it - but the dact it got made is a point in itself. If I were a child with two dads/moms I'd want to know where the other part of me came from, especially as a boy with two moms you'd want to know stuff, like am I going to got bald?

So basically like I was saying. The clear and simple solution (legally) is to have gay marriage. But we shouldn't be fooled into thinking the cultural issues are so simple and clear cut, or that being on the right side of the legal question makes our ideas about the cultural stuff right to.
If you want clear and simple I propse the following:

1. Abolish legal marriage.

2. Allow consenting adults to contract whatever "marriage like" arrangements with whatever gender/number of consenting adults they wish.

3. Abbolish annulment, you contract one of these agreements you either stay together or get a full divorce because defining what is an isn't a conjugal act is a legal nightmare. I had this argument with a Gay man earlier in the wekk, he proposed a list of legally consumating sex-acts, I can't see that working.

As far as I am personally concerned the only logical courses of action are to keep marriage between one man and one woman, or to completely liberalise it.

If we can't proscribe the geneder of the person you marry we can't proscribe anything else about your legal arrangements and I call foul on anyone who supports Gay marriage, dissagrees with this point, then calls me a bigot.
