I wasn't saying it' a slippery slope issue, but maybe it's a bit of a prejudice issue. I find it ironic to redefine marriage to include gays and lesbians, but lets keep those polygamists (whether multiple man, multiple women, or both), which are somewhat closer to a traditional marriage, out of our fun. Not that it matters that much, because it's not as though gays and lesbians couldn't get married before. The only change is that it's a state government recognized marriage which creates a binding legal contract.

I honestly don't see how that suddenly includes children, animals, plants, or inanimate objects. Is party one a consenting adult? Is party two a consenting adult? If yes to both then allow marriage equals true.
