a) have a more negative affect on social order than things already permitted (like gay marriage, booze, cannabis, guns, cohabitation, religious freedom, political satire, the internet, pornography, prostitution, etc etc)?
And also
b) be more likely to become commonplace that things already permitted (as above)?
Such that it needs to be illegal?
It seems implausible to me. For the life of me I cannot see a good reason why it is still prohibited except in terms of a religious vestige plus political/social inertia.
it depends on what recognition and obligation is distinguishes “marriage”
