While your argument is a logical one about monogamy, I don't think that this is how most "conservatives" regard gay marriage. We have only to look at posts here on FR to see what the "conservative" stance is, right?

I almost think conservatives are split down the middle on this. I hope I'm wrong.

On FR many people want to actually have a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. On one thread I had some serious arguments with people because I said I felt that it was wrong to use the Constitution in this manner. You should have seen the sparks fly over that statement.

What I perceive is that politicians are scared to death of this issue. I think they are pretending to be very conservative regarding states because they wish this issue would go away. They see it as a carreer buster. My evidence of that is the way that Corporate America embraced domestic partner benefits all at once overnight. No one wanted to challenge the PC machine.

Split down the middle. If so then half of the conservatives are very quiet.

The question is why be afraid?
