[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1705163, member: 14668"] Its an interesting question. The heart of the debate, in my opinion, is that gay couples have never been eligible for the same tax and financial benefits that the government has granted to straight couples when they marry. I personally find the idea of plural marriages to be as morally repugnant as a lot of people find gay marriages to be....but because I support gay marriage equality, in the interest of [I]not[/I] being a hypocrite I would have to say that if 3 consenting adults wish to be married it should not be the role of the State to tell them that they can't. However....some sort of equitable formula would have to be calculated in terms of Social Security benefits and tax brackets for such a marriage to prevent them from gaining any sort of financial advantages over a two-person marriage.
