why should you be able to retain other pre-conditions, such as limiting it to only two people?

I have been saying this for years. If there is nothing special about marriage being between a man and a woman; then, what is so damned special about the number 2?

Indeed, and it becomes entirely reasonable to ask what is so special about limiting 'marriage' to a certain species as well.  The raving lunatics who find themselves romantically drawn to horses, cows and goats are engaging in the same level of biological irrelevance as a homosexual one.

For that matter, there’s no reason to presuppose a sexual component to new marriage. As the definition of marriage evolves, I will be planning for the day when I will enter into a “new” marriage with my children. This is how I will thwart the government claim on my estate, and my children and grand-children will be eligible to claim social security survivor benefits upon my death..
