It's obvious we've got a lot of gay marriage supporters in here. Which that's fine, that's your right. One thing I'd like to ask supporters of gay marriage though is this; Now that gay marriage is legal, what limits on marriage should be in place? Should it be limited by number, relation, age, or should there be no limits? Where should the new line on marriage be and what in your opinion validates that new line?

ETA: And for the record, I don't think the state should be in the marriage business to begin with.

i don't really care

i do see marriage as a contract so the age limit should be the age of contracting (or done with approval from the minor and guardian)

but as long as the 2 people can contracct otherwise, i'm down

Able and willing to understand the contract to which one is entering. If you want to be married to six people and all agree, knock yourself out.

If you're 18, want to get married, and not related to the point of breaking the law in that regard; there should be no stipulations.

18 years old to do it by yourself. If not need parental or guardian consent.

Don't care who they marry, do what makes you happy. I live my life the way I want to, everyone else should as well.

I have yet to have anything happen to me where I go,"damn those gays really f*ucked this up."

Live life.

Contracts between consenting adults.

I'm a lawyer. Let 8 people marry each other and share custody of one child.

Imagine how long and lucrative and drawn out those divorce and custody and alimony hearings would be.

This seems like a good place for us to draw the line.

Numbers of what, marriage licenses issued? That's dumb, it should be the same thing for same sex as it is for opposite sex marriages.

I feel like the line is here. I would have mocked you for being a dumb hick, except I was proven wrong when the SJW's shoved trannys down our throats and shoved the removing of 200 year old statues down our throats.

Maybe I'm the gullible one for being initially happy with the gay marriage ruling and the taking down of the confed. flag at SC. If I'd have known how far the SJW's and left would have pushed I'd have supported the conservative point of view maybe.

If you're of age and doing something, like getting married, that doesn't affect me, I don't care. Have at it.

Man and Woman
Man and Man
Woman and Woman

It's 2015, people have right to marry whoever they want. As long as both parties understand what they're getting themselves into and no close relation. If a gay couple wants to get married, it won't affect my life. It isn't the gays that are ruining the sanctity of marriage, it's the Kardashians.

The only line(s) to be drawn on marriage should be age, incest and not under the influence of anything that could alter one's state of mind (alcohol, pills, etc.)

What validates it? Well age is validated by statutory rape. Incest leads to deformed kids, etc. and all that. The validation for rejecting anyone drunk, high, etc. is pretty self explanatory.
