Moe, Larry, and Curly get Married


You all recognize Larry, Curly, and Moe, right?

Let's pretend Curly and Moe were not brothers. Let's also pretend they were all gay. Let's also pretend they all are in a committed relationship.

(Reference "The state of gay unions: Just the three of us": "If having one partner is good, having two must be even better -- right? Well, because love is a lot more complicated than mathematics, the answer to this question is the subject of debate (to say the least) among gays and straights. The fact is, most modern people in the Western world believe that romantic love happens only in pairs. But as gay men have become freer to live the lives they want to live, some of those men have used this freedom to further redefine terms such as 'love,' 'relationship,' and 'family.'"

Let's pretend they all wanted to marry each other: Larry to marry Curly and Moe, Moe to marry Larry and Curly, Curly to marry Moe and Larry.

Gay marriage advocates say that two gays have the civil right to get married. Why don't they say that three or more people of the same sex have the right to be married? Is that not discrimination? If two have the right, why not at least three?

What does the 1972 Gay Rights Platform say?:

"Repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers." http://www.rslevinson.com/gaylesissues/features/collect/onetime/bl_platform1972.htm
