A movement that seeks to promote and make legal the act of a group of any number of people to marry each other at the same time in a single ceremony and person be a partner in the marriage with each of the other people.

When a married couple decides to open their marriage, hence permitting the other partner to engage in sexual relations or emotional relations with additional partners, male or female. Usually the married couple is considered the "Primary Couple".

Sometimes having an open marriage includes having group sex with other married couples.

Open marriages always try to base their relationship on complete honesty and mutual respect. Open marriages are hard work and both partners must feel comfortable with the situation for it to able to work. Both partners involved in the primary relationship must be very mature and able to control jealousy.

1. A legal union of 2 human beings REGARDLESS OF GENDER that provides security and stability for that relationship and promotes health and longevity for people in that union as reported through studies. Despite the ranting of religious fanatics who insist otherwise, marriage is not a religious institution. The concept of marriage existed way long before christianity itself. The marriage license is issued by a civil authority not a religious one. It is a civil court, not the church, that enforces the rights of those in the union during the marriage. As it is a group of lawyers through a civil court that dissolves the union and not the church. As such, it is a civil invention that does not require religious rituals to make it legal. People do not need a church to be married but they do need a license from the state for it to be legally recognized and valid! Marriage is not specifically about rearing children either. If it was, heterosexual couples would be required by the state to have a fertility test before getting a license and those that didn't pass it would be denied. That's not the case anywhere.

The definition of marriage is no longer restricted to one man or woman. It was redefined NOT by judges in Massachusetts but rather in Europe by the Netherlands which has extended marriage rights to same-sex couples. That definition has been accepted by other first world countries such as Belgium, Spain and Canada. The genie is out of the bottle and no rantings by thick-head...

Oar-gig-ah-mee

Somewhat like polygamy, but works best with homosexuals, or bisexuals. It's a group of people all married to each other, with no one particular head (ie, one husband 50 wives, or vice versa). Any one parter will sleep with another, or they can have mass orgies.

The American Civil Liberties Union or, more appropriately, the Anti-Christian Liberators Union or American Communists Liberation Union. A radical, facist interest group that masquerades itself as a caring and compassionate organization fighting to protect your civil rights according to the Constution, but a closer look will find they do the oppsoite. It has a God-given talent of perverting “Seperation of church and state” into meaning that all “religious” references, speech and icons are forbidden in public. In this effort, it uses the strategy of threatening litigations to small towns/counties/ communites for displaying anything they do not agree with, regardless of the will of the people. Let me be clear, the ACLU, despite its name, does NOT give a damb about our civil rights---only their own perverted and twisted Communist agenda. The ACLU is disgraceful and sick. To prove its insanity and antiamerican agenda:

1. the ACLU will deny a child’s right to bring a Bible to school (using the fraudulant seperation of church and state excuse) but will support a child’s right to bring a copy of the Kuran or Playboy Magazine and anything pornographic.
2. It believes pornography is protected by free speech but your right to pray/worship is not.
3. They deny a child’s right to pray to Jesus in school but will protect the rights of those to pray to Satan or Baael. .
4. They deny schools the right to mention the word ABSTINENCE in sex-ed classes but demand that ...

Perhaps the most ignored and misunderstood part of the 1st Amendment, even the whole damn Constitution. This concept derives from the establishment and free exercise clauses of the 1st Amendment.

The government CANNOT give preference to any religion, yet we still have "in God We Trust" on our currency, "One nation under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance, and legal marriage rights are dictated by the Church.

There may be no restrictions on religion.... well almost. Numerous Supreme Court cases have allowed for some restrictions (no polygamy for mormons, no peyote use for some native american religions, and no animal sacrifices for some religions, i guess) but these restrictions are for EVERYONE, not just against a particular group (so it's technically not discrimination).

Essentially, people are free to BELIEVE what they want (even if they aren't allowed to PRACTICE their beliefs in some cases) and people are free FROM religion.
