[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love two women, can we legally get married?  Seriously, why not?  Give me one good reason other than bigotry towards my beliefs.

Legally, polygamy causes too many complications.  The state has a legitimate interest in ensuring that property rights, inheritance, parental responsibility, medicare and social security entitlements, etc. can be pinned down to the two individuals who make up the married entity.  Those are about the only legitimate interests the state SHOULD have in any marriage.

Legally, gay marriage causes too many complication. The state has a legitimate interest .....the rest of what you said.  What about the complications when a gay couple marries and one of the partners has a biological child that the other parent adopts, then they divorce?  Complicated?  What about when they use donor eggs, implanted in one parent, and then the couple splits up before the child is born? Complicated?  
Further, how is is any more complicated than a hetero woman with 5 children and 4 baby daddies, 2 in jail, living with a 5th who is father to none, etc. etc.  Now that's complicated.

Or a wealthy couple who started a business together, got divorced, got remarried, husband continued to run company, turned into billion dollar company, then he dies.  Complicated to figure that out with who gets what? (Wife from first marriage sued since she technically was start up of company)  From personal experience, very very very complicated.

Anything other reasons against polygamy than "its complicated?"

You make the case very eloquently.  Given how complicated these issues are already, it would be inordinatley more difficult to deal with them with more than two legal parties involved.  But, if you really feel so strongly about it, poerhaps we all should reconsider - maybe polygamy should be legal after all.  God knows I could use a couple of sister wives.  [/quote]
