[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Most Americans are against gay marriage.  Gays have largely won it thru the Courts.  Good for them.   Now the minority wants to club the majority into baking cakes and taking pictures of their "marriages."

What a charade.   [b]Marriage has been between a man and a woman since the dawn of time[/b].[/quote]

That is not remotely true. You might want to do a bit of Googling to broaden your knowledge base.

Huh?  Google what exactly?[/quote]

Maybe "history of marriage" for a start. [/quote]

I did that and I don't see anything particularly relevant- would you kindly provide some links?  Seriously I would appreciate it and I will read them.  Thanks[/quote]

Start with Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage

Read the sections on types of marriage and the history of marriage.

You've got me scratching my head- I see some antecedents for polygamy but not really for gay marriage....

I assume that you realize that polygamy -- a form of marriage with a far longer history than monogamy -- is not marriage "between a man and a woman" but rather marriage "between a man and some women". If you are looking for antecedents for gay marriage, maybe look here:
