There are people who can tolerate someone besides themselves, who think gay people should not be protected any more, and have the right to be as miserable as the rest of us who have been married.. That "slippery slope" argument is so bogus it makes $3 bills look good. What the dickens does anyone care? If two, or more, people are in love and committed, what business do you or I have in the midst of that mess? If you are happy being married, and you'd damned well better be, then let it be. You're vulnerable to accusations of an alternative lifestyle, yourself. Live your life, enjoy your existence, glory in your family, and leave other people the hell alone. Go to church. What concerns you stops at your self-proclaimed Libertarian nose. Nothing other people do in their own houses concerns you in the slightest, and yet you try and try and try to make it your business. AND call yourself a LIbertarian. Geez. Live your life, take care of the house, and let others do whatever they want to do. I don't know what issues they have, I don't know why they do what they do, and it's not my concern. Drag your intolerance off to other boards, where homophobics can work themselves into some sort of hysteria. That slope is only slippery for people with a tendency to slide, and that slope is only scary to those who are afraid they might.

I see no reason why both should not be legal. As for inter-family marriages, there is scientific evidence (right?) that in-breeding can cause genetic problems. Look at the Royal family for example. :-) He opposes gay marriage but supports polygamy. I see no reason why both should not be legal.
