a lot of people believe and stand by the "consenting adults" line, myself included. What needs to happen is what Gays Against Groomers has been trying to do: weed the pedophiles and abusers out with extreme prejudice.
In today's climate, that will never happen. They would rather run cover for child abusers than have any semblance of control over promiscuity.
"Consenting adults" can't do plenty of shit, why should the gays be special? If two women agree to marry the same guy, that's completely illegal, and I don't see anyone but the most disgusting poly people (and a few off the grid Mormons who are only off the grid because its illegal) arguing for it.
So clearly, "consenting adults" only matters when it allows people to let something happen that opposing might get them backlash socially.
The only reason poly marriage isn't legal is the tax ramifications. It's all about the money. LGBT is a multi-billion dollar industry, like it or not, and it doesn't significantly alter the tax code, while no one cares much about the Mormons and the IRS keep their thirteen silver.
But nobody is arguing about it from a pro-tax point of view. They are pushing it from a moral one, which means they are either hypocrites or ignorantly spouting phrases they heard on TV without thinking about it.
That's the problem with principles and morals, if you try to use them as a bat for change and social causes you need to actually have them instead of just using them when it might win your argument for you.
It was never, not ever, about consenting adults in their own home.

And that's a perfectly fine reason.
