And why stop with same sex marriage? If we allow that, who not allow a man to marry several women, a practice common in many Asian and African nations (Nelson Mandela currently has two wives)? Why not allow brothers and sisters to marry, or parents and children? Why not allow children to marry (in Iran and undoubtedly many other countries, a girl can get married at age 13, or even as early as age 9 with parental permission)? Why not legally recognize marriage of humans and animals (yes, there are real-life cases of people who marry their pets)?
Hey, if same sex marriage is OK, you might as well accept all the rest of them.
