Love can not be defined nor quantified, but can be felt. Love is blind, love is longing, love hurts. Love is illogical. So for those among us who rely on logic, how do you rationalize foregoing your logic in favor of love?

I don’t like the idea of loss of control, of trusting someone else completely etc. But deep down I know I need to overcome my reservations if I ever want to embrace love. What’s your view on this?

The rules are you cannot comprise your reason with any religious logic. When I say marriage I am speaking of the cut and dry laws that would surround the subject. This means I also don’t want answers that just say “Because its gross!”. In addition I’ve also found many trying to give me the cut and dry no by stating that it would create tax loopholes. Reality: A man and a woman could create the same loopholes just as easily so none of that thank you very much.
Procede in your answering. I am trying to look at this from a fair unbiased prospective and so far I can’t come up with any reasons why gay marriage shouldn’t be legal. If you can make a fair arguement otherwise, I welcome your answer.
I’m not saying anyone’s religion is wrong ,but it shouldn’t play a part in the legalities of the situation. If Athiests are allowed marriage, why not gays? This is the arguement used for why marriage is a sacred bond between man and wife ,but marriage ,whether you like it or not, is a legal oath taken by two individualsa and by law is not influence by religion. This is my reasoning for trying to exclude religious viewpoints. I am being very unbiased.
It is unbiased because too many people would like to passionify their answer to make a big deal about it. I’m simply stating to use raw logic without emotion. This means I’m asking you to also be unbiased.
Its like saying “Chocolate is better than vanilla”. This cannot be proven ,but anyone can have an opinion on the subject. Its just that; I don’t want opinions. I want cold hard facts and logic.
The difference between gay couples and sex predators is that they are acting willingly on both sides. Yes, there is gay rape and that is a crime ,but two people of consenting age going into that situation is nothing more than sex whether it be gay or straight. I bet many people think that morbidly obese people having sex is “gross” ,but I’m pretty sure there have been no rallies to keep them from marrying. Get it?
There are many straight couples that are unable to reproduce. Just a tip, I’m not gay or anything like that. I’m just looking for a logical answer for the LAW side of this situation. Whether a couple marries or not they will probably still be together so lets speak in hypothetical terms. Say we’re speaking in terms of calling gays birds and straights bees.(just sticking with the classic format here) I can fully understand not liking something ,but I’m about doing what is right without the “like factor” involved. For example: I don’t like pickles ,but I’m not going stop anyone else from eating them.

One of the predicted outcomes in the slippery slope argument against gay marriage is that it will lead to multiple-partner marriages. I don’t want to debate the logic of the slippery slope, as that has been hashed and rehashed. I am curious as to the secular benefits or drawbacks that would follow from allowing groups of more than 2 people to be counted as one marriage.
