" Where does the next advance come?" he asks in an essay at Politico. "Now that we've defined that love and devotion and family isn't driven by gender alone, why should it be limited to just two individuals? The most natural advance next for marriage lies in legalized polygamy.... Gay marriage remains illegal in Australia, most of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and parts of Europe and Mexico; the most liberal of those countries strike me as the most natural places for "the next advance" of marriage. I'd urge my fellow gay-marriage proponents to focus their efforts there––and legalizing group marriage in America right now would strengthen the hands of gay-marriage opponents abroad, confirming slippery-slope arguments that were raised and rejected here. If it ever made sense to avoid this fight as a matter of political strategy, it still does; if gay marriage was ever a more important priority than plural marriage, it remains so." ~ Freddie de Boe...

Yeah, I've read this. It sounds very good, but I believe this is the
same guy who described where he was as a place with clouds floating
around, A beautiful woman whom he apparently didn't know. Then he
talked with (and I forget the exact words here, but this is the idea)
the creator and sustainer of the entire Cosmos. The clouds in
particular sound more like a popular idea of heaven than what heaven
must really be like, In other words, although there are plenty of
near-death experiences that are convincing to me, I'm suspicious of
this one.
Thanks, Jim
I also think there may be some questionnable elements here, but I did find the main points compelling--such an experience when functionally brain-dead is a convincing element...I'm not sure that heaven would not have clouds?
