[Patricia19883]

I used to think we should allow same-sex marriages. Why not, if they are in love? But then I started to think what else we would have to allow. If marriage is a bond between those in love and in a commitment, so too could polygamists ask for marriage. Their commitment just happens to be with multiple partners who all agree with that type of relationship. I don’t know how to argue my point. However, I do believe that some social norms should just remain the same. If not, you allow marriage to become available to all sorts of relationships. To me, marriage was intended for two loving people, particularly of the opposite sex. Let tradition remain, or else I fear we will set precedence for just about anything. Would we then have to consider allowing older people to marry minors? After all, the same argument can be made for such arrangements. If they are in love and want to obtain marital status, wouldn’t we have to let them because of the precedent set for homosexuals and polygamists? I think it would open a can of worms, no matter how unfair people think it might me. I am tolerant of all types of people and the least bit judgmental, but as I said before, some social norms and mores should just not be changed.
