Rick Santorum accidently got it right the other day:
"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," Santorum, R-Pa., said in the interview, published Monday.
What happens in the bedroom of two consenting adults is nobodies business but theirs. I'll even take it a step further and say that the gov't has no right to restrict marriage based on gender or number. Civil Marriage is a binding contract between two or more adults. As long as all parties are part of the contract, why shold the gov't have an interest in the details of the agreement?
Now, religious marriage is another beast entirely, but once again, the gov't has no business interfering there either. If a church wants to recognize same sex marriages, great. If they don't, also great.
