As one of the earliest proponents of the civil union in Vermont, I am still evolving on this issue. The situation remains fluid. Please monitor this thread periodically for updates. |

This is how it should be done. By voter referendum, not by legislation. The people of Ireland spoke, and I respect their decision. |

It had to be done this way in Eire because it needed a constitutional amendment which can only be ratified by the voters.Regular legislation would not have been sufficient otherwise it would have been done a long time ago. This was a ratification vote. |

So rights of citizenship are now controversial? What other rights would you subject to public referendum? Should the ability of Jews to vote or hold higher office be subject to this as it is controversial to some like Franklin Graham who is calling for those Supreme Court Justices who are Jewish to recuse themselves from the pending same sex marriage cases just because they are Jewish? |

Why just one? I can't think of a reasonable argument for banning polygamous marriages as long as all parties are entirely consenting— if three people want to get married, why not? If a fourth person wants to join the marriage and all three existing spouses are OK with that, what basis do we have for not allowing it?Hell, as long as they're both properly consenting and don't reproduce, I can't think of an argument for banning incestuous marriage. If "that's nasty" were an argument, we'd have to ban gay people from marrying along with old people and ugly people. |

You are disrespecting the world's major religions.Islam: You deny the basic tenet that there is only one god and Muhammed is his spokesman. Christianity: You deny the legitimacy of Joshua, son of Joseph as humanity's lord and saviour. Judaism: You are posting on Shabbos, dumbass. And that's just the first three. I'm sure you've eaten steak or burgers at some point (Hinduism) and I'm sure you've offended the Buddhists as well but I can't be bothered to look up how. |

Or all their siblings? Or to both of their parents? Why would committment to multiple spouses be any different? |
