I cannot conceive how people today say "well race is different than sexuality" when people made all the same arguments about interracial marriage not 50 years ago. I guess the bottom line is that nothing about this is logical. It's an emotional response, and you can't really reason with that. You just have to show it reason and hope it comes around.

As an aside, I have no problems with any consensual adult relationships. We have at LEAST two sets of members involved in long term, committed polygamous relationships that are as loving and stable as anything any straight couple could hope for. I can't conceive of any reason they shouldn't share the same rights and responsibilities that I share with my wife. I don't have any specific problem with consensual adult incestuous relationshps either. People can love and fuck who they want to.

Now...I don't think that private organizations should be forced to marry people they don't want to, but I don't think the government has any business limiting who can receive those benefits so long as the parties are both adults and there is no coercion.
