"Once you move marriage beyond the scope of a man and a woman, you really don't end up with a good place to put a limit," the Republican said, adding a reference to King Solomon.

Strikes me as another old time "ewww" argument against a lifestyle people don't approve of, but with no logical basis for opposition.
