In America, you actually can have 2 marriages. One by the state (which this subject is about) and one by the church (of any religion).

Does that meen there is a loop hole into marrying two people?
Anyway, If there are seperate marriages, than what are all these sanctomonius religous people in such a huff about?
They think we're trying to do it religiously.
Nah, just lawfully.
Ah I see.
hm.... most of the anti-gays seem to have given up on posting in this thread...
ok off the track but- is bigamy illegal in America? If so, what is the punishment for it? Can you sue your husband for cheating/abusing you?
I hope nobody thinks i hate gay people because i dont. I just dont like there lifestyle. And no im not trying to make anyone mad or anything like that so dont anyone say that i am.
Why should any one be mad at you? You're entitled to your opinion! Just don't shove your opinion down everyone's throat by passing a legislation or something, like bush.Quote:
