[Vision2020] Huh? Say WHAT!?

[Art Deco]

@Tom,

Congratulations on your happy marriage and wonderful life together; may it
go on and on.

I agree that those adults regardless of gender who feel strongly about
sharing their lives like you and Rodna have, there should be no
prohibitions especially those fostered by ancient religious delusions.

I think the same way about three adults who feel the same way about sharing
their lives similarly.  Reality:  It sometimes happens.  Why should we
prohibit it?
