Your response makes no sense. How does removing the state from marriage lead to state-sanctioned polygamy or pedophilia? Also, the pedophilia argument (as well as the bestiality argument, which you did not make, but others have) are red herrings, because neither one would be applicable to two consenting adults. As for polygamy, nothing is really stopping people from taking multiple “wives” right now, just out of the eyes of the state, much like there are gay couples who function like a married couple despite the lack of legal recognition. Neither one is really my cup of tea, but it’s none of my business.
