    (Both fine if consenting adults and no form of coercion, of course).
    Polygamy is almost always supported by coercion via superstitious beliefs hammered into people throughout childhood. Otherwise it's advocates would actually be advocating "corporate marriage" instead. Wherein the marriage stands as a separate entity by which all partners are given an equal say. So theoretically a man with two wives could be voted out of the marriage by his wives if he's a douchebag.

    Animals cannot provide informed consent, your argument is null on so many grounds it's amusing to see you attempt to breathe life into it.
    Tell me again how an animal can't give consent.

    You tell me how it can provide consent, you made the claim, then i'll explain how it can't.

    Inform me how an animal can provide legally recognized consent to a sexual activity.

Yet when bestiality is mentioned, people leap all over the 'informed consent' aspect of things, like it's suddenly a right of theirs we revere.

    This isn't even getting into why the perception of sex as an activity that necessitates informed consent isn't one that applies to non-humans in the first place.
    Sure, but the double standards involved in animal treatment are a separate issue. One does not need to be "right" on all issues in order to be "right" on one issue.

    One is with consenting adults capable of making informed consent, the other is perpetrated against an animal incapable of providing consent.

    I mean, is this the best you can do?

    There is no double-standard. To your credit, at least you didn't go with pedophilia.

    Of course.

    Just like prostitution. In principle there's nothing wrong with it. In reality, there's usually coercion in some form.

    That's why my caveat.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    I could say the same about two person marriage.

    ah the good old consent argument, one of my least favorites

    Well this issue is kind of interesting.

    Did the MMO-C community just say that Incest, Beastiality and Polygamy are perfect so long as every party involved is adult and has shown to have expressed consent?

    On the one hand, Incest has the very real and detrimental effect of producing horribly crippled offspring with weak genes. So I still see a problem with it. About beastiality, I'm just curious, because I know there are multiple instances where animals initiate sexual encounters with humans rather than vice versa. If something like this were to occur, the onus is then on the human to reciprocate or disengage. And I see nothing wrong with polygamy so long as it is both polygyny and polyandry.

    The problem with legislating something against beastiality is that it isn't like the animal is going to call the police, so you basically have to be caught in the act. Which is disgusting. Nobody wants to deal with that. And Incest... I think that youth is just too susceptible to what happens in their early years, I do not think Incest really has a place being legislated upon either. While it is quite easy to legislate against polygamy, because you're not really married if you have to hide it from the law.

    But these issues are also completely irrelevant to gay marriage. Which is what the topic is about.

    OT, then: Glad to see another domino fall.

    This actually isn't really true. Statistically, the chances of extreme birth defects are still extremely slim.

    One of the issues with consent is that it doesn't have any moral basis itself. Kind of the same as choice, you know, you can make any choice you want, but simply doing so doesn't make it a correct or moral choice.

    About incest, the detrimental effects are short term, while beneficial effects are long term (excising bad genes). I don't see a problem with it, especially if we can minimize detrimental effects with our modern technology.

    For the first generation it might be. I can only imagine the inbreeding that would result over time, however... Humans might diverge into separate species in the extreme example.
