Sure - lets Tango.

Last time we did this I asked for an example of sanctioned homosexual or polyamous marriage.

Nobody had one - historical (and current) instances of polygamy involve one man making multiple marriages - not a single marriage involving more than two people.

So - while Rhy may be coming at the issue from a very Protestant context he's essentially correct about homosexual unions being endorsed - it's about as inevitable as democracy - and we know that barely functions outside Europe and the anglo-sphere. Certainly - the majority of the world's population lives under something other than a democratic government.

Onto the specific case - the situation in the US is an example of constitutional and judicial abuse. US law does not specify that marriage is between a man and a woman because the framers of those laws considered it to be self-evident. This has been exploited as a loophole by the Courts and Liberal-minded activists. It is not a loophole and a proper and impartial Judicial review by the Supreme Court WILL inevitably strike down all these decisions.

What is needed is actual change in the Law explicitly including homosexuals within the institution of marriage.
