I love the simplicity of this. The Anti-Gay Marriage people made a tv commercial and the Pro-Gay Marriage people used that exact commercial and answered/addressed the "issues" presented.

Long ago a friend once explained to me that the best family structure consists of two men (one older, one younger) and three women. The advantages:
-variety, not the same woman every night
-older man has advantages of greater experience, younger man for youth and vigor.
-with three women, one can be “indisposed”
-can create possible “try”sexual novelty and vitality
-five adults assures greater economic security
-women like to go shopping in pairs, this means one is always available to watch the kids
-vacation arrangements do not require leaving the home empty, or create problems with pets
-fewer single family homes are needed
-etc.etc.etc.
The advantages are obvious—forget gay marriage, why not adopt this structure as a standard “marriage”??
Not a bad theory, but in practice I would anticipate massive problems, starting with the inevitable jealousy that would come out of it. But it is not only jealousy, anyone who has taken on friends as roommates knows that there is a massive gulf between liking someone and living with someone. Finding one person seems hard enough for most, finding four would be even harder.
"My freedom will be taken away" by actually permitting others to live and let live. Yeah, whatever.
Beautiful counterargument.
I only wish videos like this could have been televised during the actual proposition 8 campaign, because unfortunately, let's face it, a large contribution to the passage of Prop 8 is simply the fact that the opponents of this measure simply allowed far too many of the paranoid arguments of their adversaries to go unchallenged.
