In her current arrangement, as reported by Breitbart, “We have three kids and five parents . . . more or less, and I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally.”

She had earlier said that “we [homosexual people] should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it is a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist.”

The few conservative advocates of homosexual marriage, like Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan Rauch, will say that she’s wrong about the effect of same-sex marriage and the alleged lie. But if marriage is the sort of purely affective relation, completely unrelated to the sex of the spouses, as it has to be to justify same-sex marriage, the conservative proponents have no grounds to oppose those who find other forms of legal or formal relation necessary for their happiness.
