Thank God for these people - the world needs more love. All the best to them and many, many years of happiness. They make a beautiful marriage. May they experience God's favour in their lives every day of their lives and I hope they have a big family one day to share in their love! <3

Am I the only one that is alarmed by the amount of red arrows that the positive comments are getting on this article?

Oh here is some of the article if you dare.

Three gay men from Thailand have tied the knot in what is thought to be the world's first three-way same-sex marriage.

Happy newlyweds Joke, 29, Bell, 21 and Art, 26, took the plunge on Valentine's Day after exchanging their vows in a fairy-tale ceremony at their home in Uthai Thani Province, Thailand.

The three blushing grooms are thought to be the world's only wedded male threesome and have since become internet sensations after photos from their big day went viral.

Post by: alicewonders on March 06, 2015, 08:24:33 pm: Wait till they decide to divorce (and they will) - everything has to be divided in threes, instead of halves. It's going to be a real cat-fight! MEOW!

This is only the beginning of the ridiculousness.

And yet, here we are. **nononono*

Post by: Oceander on March 07, 2015, 05:18:56 pm: If this was a civil ceremony, then who the heck cares? Civil government - Caesar - can pretty much do as it pleases. It could recognize as legally meaningful the relationship between a human and a chimpanzee if it pleases.

The issue is - as it has always been - whether private religious communities - by that I mean churches, not civil towns or cities in which lots of people who believe live - are forced to recognize/respect relationships like this that are anathema to their personal beliefs within their own private affairs and organizations.

And quite honestly, such over the top, angry, responses from people who dislike them simply validates them; if you want to emphasize the meaninglessness of it, then ignore it or dismiss it quickly as being inconsequential. If you want to be dismissive and insulting at the same time, you can always say: "eh. The government can always let you marry a monkey if it wants to."
