For the same reason I believe there should be legal civil unions for gay couples I also believe several adults who choose to be in a committed relationship should also be legal, why would the Government be involved in restricting how people can live together?
I reserve the term "marriage" because that term was in existence as a way to describe a religious bond long before the American constitution was even thought of but I think in a Nation that is supposed to be governed by individual freedoms.......how can we say any relationship between consenting adults is wrong?
Basically the only real Government involvement should be setting up death benefits and such, if people had more then one "mate" then you simply divide equally those denefits and such, I don't see the problem.
