First Gay marriage, then Polygamy (its happening!)

Heh. Better tell Pat Robertson ...This is where I say (again, have said, etc) that "marriage" should be a religious issue and defined by the church(es) in question. That secular society, especially government institutions, should not have any laws based on this concept as it discriminates for no secular purpose.The mormon fundies should be happy with this eh? As should the Muslim, and Jewish traditions that have multiple wives.Slippery slope?Not unless you can suddenly contract between adults and children of minor age or animals ...And then we also get into the non compos mentis issue eh?There is nothing wrong with contracts between consenting adults.

I didn't necessitate equivalence, these were just other "examples" from the extremists of the slippery slope issue.The interesting issue is that using a contract issue as the basis that kids can be better protected (but not necessarily -- parents used to sell kids into slavery, so approving a contract where the parents benefit while the child loses would not be much better).Of course there have also been wills where the entire estate has been left to some pet or other, and the legal difference between this and a {contract partnership} with legal inheritance is pretty minor.

Your assumptions are showing. They could be {bisexual-in-the middle\group-sexual}, just because a minimum of (one) het coupling is required doesn't mean that it is the rule.
