If you believe same sex marriage is ok?

Question

Could you answer a few questions for me, and please expand on your answers.

1) Do you also think it would be ok for bisexuals to marry a member of each sex?

2) If same sex marriage is already legal in your country or state, has anything been said about bisexuals?

3) If same sex marriage is accepted, would this be the next logical step?

If you dont believe in same sex marriages, then these questions probably have no point. If you do, I didnt use an example of marrying goats or children, so no Im not hating or slamming. Just curious :)

Answer 1

1. I'd have to think about it. Interesting question.

2. No, but not that I'm aware of in Canada or Mass.

3. Perhaps, perhaps not.

AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT...

It's definitely an interesting question, and perhaps it's one that society should consider. Unlike the issue of gay marriage, very little thought is put into multiple-partner marriages. We have scientific evidence that suggests that gay people are good parents -- no such evidence exists that having three or four mommies is emotionally healthy or not healthy for a child.

... after thinking about it, I've decided to reverse the question, in a way. I assume you do not support banning gays from having sex. So, would you support a ban on group sex?

More generally, here's how I think it should work ... Before the state, you're a person. Whether you're married or not, the state should consider you just a person. No joint taxes, no joint automobile ownership, etc. If you want to sign a contract that creates a legal or financial entity between two or twelve people, I think that also should be allowed. (Actually it is, and it's called a corporation.)

If you want your sister to visit you in the hospital, that should be allowed. It makes NO SENSE that a hospital can admit my wife (or husband) to visit me afterhours, but not my best friend for 20 years.

But right now, we have a social contract called marriage. In Colorado, you go down to the county clerk, fill out a piece of paper, and you're married. Having studied the issue of gay marriage, I've come to the reasonable conclusion that opening that up to two people of the same sex is perfectly reasonable. I have not thought that much about multiple partner marriages, but I'm not entirely closed to the idea.

Answer 2

Yes I believe same sex marriage is O.K. Two people who love each other should be able to get married.

1) No I do not think bisexuals should be able to be married to two people at the same time. I don't think anyone should. But if they all want to live together, be together, that's fine by me.

2) I'm in Canada. Yes it's legal. This is the first time I've heard a question like this.

3) The thing about it for me is...that would make ANYONE married able to marry more then one person. I really think that divorce rates are high enough. Open relationships/marriages are choices made between consenting adults. I can get my head around that. But I have to stop there.

Answer 3

Are you trying to establish a connection between gay marriage and polygamy?

1)I'm not sure what you mean. At the same time? That's like asking if people who are attracted to blondes and brunettes should be allowed to marry one of each. It's got nothing to do with gay marriage, and everything to do with marriage being between two people.

2) Huh? If you eliminate the bias in marriage, nothing needs to be said. When two different-sex get married, the government doesn't need to know if they're straight or bi; same thing with same sex marriage.

3) double huh?

Answer 4

1. No, I don't. I don't support polygamy. A bisexual can pick one or the other sex. Just like a heterosexual man may pick one of the women out there, but only one, so a bisexual man can pick one of the men or women out there, but only one.

2. Same sex marriage is not legal in my state.

3. No, absolutely not. There is no correlation. A bisexual has no more chance of wanting a polygamous relationship than a homosexual or heterosexual.

Answer 5

1) Bisexuals would simply have the choice of marrying a man or a woman. Just because they are bisexual does not mean that they cannot commit to one partner.
2)I don't know
3)No, I don't think that it would. As for marrying goats or children, I think that most people can realize that marriage is meant for an adult human as most legal things that apply to marriage only apply to adult humans.

Answer 6

yes and afterwards marriages between 250000 people...why do you look for stupid reasonds to "attack" gay marriages? A gay is a person and as such we must have the same rights as you have...
I live in spain and in here gay marriage is legal and so is bisexual marriage since a bisexual is either a man or woman...
If marriage between animal and human is the logical "next step" after gay marriages then check your logics (anyway if you can get married you are evidence that an animal can get married)

Answer 7

Incest is really only bad if you can produce children. We automatically think it's wrong because it's not the norm. And anyway, maybe one out ten million people want to perform an incest gay wedding. You can't compare it to same sex marriage because there are probably millions of gays and lesbians who want to get married some day.

Answer 8

1. simultaneously? no. marriage is about exclusivity and commitment.
2. n/a
3. would what be? polygamous marriages? I don't see how changing the number of partners would be a logical progression. It's not my idea of what marriage is about, but I wouldn't dictate to a group of consenting adults that they could not have that arrangement. It would be legally complicated, though, if one or more members wished to terminate the relationship.

Answer 9

1.) I personally have no moral objection to it, but I see a legal reason why marriage could be kept as a contract between two persons.

2.) It isn't legal where I live, unfortunately.

3.) I don't think that there is necessarily a "next logical step." Once marriage is defined as a lifelong contract of domestic partnership between two persons--with no gender discrimination--I think the issue will be as far as it necessarily needs to go.

Answer 10

Why should bisexuals be allowed polygamy if others are not? If they cannot remain faithful to one gender(I know many bisexuals who do not cheat) then they should have to resort to the same tactics as straight and gay people who cannot remain faithful, which is to lie cheat or get into those swingers clubs--maybe they could couple swap with another bisexual couple
