As someone who personally views the institution of marriage as bogus, I believe the second best alternative is to accept all kinds of lifestyles. Illegality of such lifestyles only breeds the worst of said lifestyles, and harmful behavior can be brought to light rather than hidden. Whether it's two men and a woman, two woman and a man, or even five women and four men, I believe love in all forms has its place in our society, and it is morally wrong for our region to restrict that.

While I agree with you on all of that, I am curious why you've proposed to expand marriage, rather than eliminate the institution entirely?

My original thinking is that, eliminating the institution of marriage would cause too much of a hubbub, both among the citizenry and of the who's who in Atlasia, and thought that polygamy, while also controversial, is something of a middle ground.

Seems like it's the other way around. Do you want to turn this into a "get rid of marriage" bill?

I urge my fellow legislators to join me in voting against this bill.  It is nothing short of a war on marriage and with other regions turning their back on the Atlasian way of life, it is more important than ever that we stand our ground by winning this fight for the family values upon that have been the lifeblood of our great nation.   I fear that if this bill passes, it may only be a matter of time before efforts are made to legalize bestiality in our dear region.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a horrible person.
