Gay marriage...law of the land.

As long as everyone's a consenting adult, why not three or four sharing the union of marriage?

But Jerry Lee didn't think that what he did that December day in 1957 was immoral. Heck, it wasn't illegal—or even unusual—where he came from. But when the world learned five months later that Lewis, 22, had married his 13-year-old second cousin, Myra Gale Brown, the shock waves put Jerry Lee's career in a tailspin

As long as everyone's a consenting adult, why not three or four sharing the union of marriage?
I agree-why not? As long as the legal aspect of polygamy are sorted out, I see no reason to prohibit polygamy between consenting adults.

Marriage is dead anyways.

What is "marriage"?

In 1903 only a few states had adopted a marriage license scheme, yes scheme because that is what it is used for today.

Ken M, are you saying pedophilia should be made legal?
Edit: I don't think you are. But what are you saying?

the fact is that pedophiles are a separate species from homosexual.

. Many states in the union allow you to marry your second cousin. Not a big deal. Even California does. The problem was probably the age issue. She was 13. However, many cultures marry off their daughters after puberty when they can sexually and developmentally have children. Very common in The Good Book.

Joseph was probably in his early 30s when he married Marium (not Mary) who was probably close to the age of 13 or so. Very common. That is why Marium later is a widow and single at the time of Yeshua's crucifixion.

G-d obviously favored this Union. Who are we to judge here in the West with a divorce rate of 50% or more and now allowing Gay marriage? G-d's not fooled.

We live in a time when Good is called evil, and evil is called Good. Everything seems to be going backwards.

"As in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man."
Yeshua HaMashiach speaking of his return.

The days of Noah were incredibly sinful, immoral, and decadent. Gay marriage was the least of it ... Read the Book of Enoch to know how bad it was.


Jesus said in Luke 17:26-30, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when Son of man is revealed.”

The study of cultures different from one's own can give insights into different ways of viewing the world and different ways of organizing society. Just as man/boy love has been the primary form of homoeroticism throughout most of Western history, it has also been an important cultural institution in many different places around the world. From the pederasty of the ancient Mediterranean world to the "contemplation of the unbearded" practiced in Sufi Islam, to the Chinese "passion of the cut sleeve" (named after the story of emperor Ai, who reputedly cut off his sleeve rather than disturb the sleep of his beloved), to the insemination rituals of Melanesia, to the two-spirit traditions of North America, man/boy love has been socially accepted in many forms.

In some societies man/boy love has been highly formalized and prescribed, while in others it has been merely an open, accepted practice free of sanctions. The post-industrial West is unique in it's degree of intolerance toward man/boy love.

Cultural studies of sexual behavior, including many on-line articles, are replete with descriptions of diverse manifestations of man/boy love. The handful of articles linked below, excerpted from NAMBLA publications, is intended to supplement this rich literature.
