CA Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage today (5/15) at 10:00am

I sometimes hear fudamentalist preachers say that if gay marriage is legal, then the inevitable slippery slope will begin, and there will be nothing to prevent people from marrying their own children, their livestock, and so on.

So, if I move to California, can I marry my cat? My Nintendo Wii? A corn dog?

Who cares? No one is killing themselves. You're not physically hurting anyone. You're not absconding with anyone's property. Therefore it should be legal.

Both parties have to be competent to consent. That's why bestiality is illegal.

It did occur to me that legalizing plural marriage would cut down on some of the welfare abuses >

Yes. No. Yes, but not on Fridays.
