Last comment on this subject. By the way, I was arguing neither against gay marriage nor against multiple marriages. You assumed that on your own! I simply asked if one thing might lead (or form a basis for an argument) to another. I did not explicitly object or oppose that thing or the other.

Multiple marriages are already illegal in America...we're not talking about things illegal...we're talking about a LEGAL right open only to some Americans...

… it isn't defined in ANY legal document to date...nowhere has it ever had to say marriage is between a man and a woman

You have not commented on my premises. You simply repeated what you previously said several times. Here they are again (read it all first before you reply):

Argument for gay marriage on the basis that marriage is a contract:

A. Marriage is nothing more than a legal contract.
B. A contract is an agreement between different parties regardless of their gender.

= Therefore, marriage can be made between two parties regardless of their gender.

If gay marriage is legalized on this basis, then multiple marriages can also be argued for because:

A. Marriage is nothing more than a legal contract.
B. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties.

= Therefore, marriage can be made between two or more parties.

However, you are saying that gay marriage should be legalized (or is already legal) simply because:

A. The law defines marriage as a union between two citizens
B. The law does not explicitly specify that the two citizens must be of different genders

= Therefore, the law does not bar two citizens of the same gender from marrying.

This is called a loophole... and that's it.
