If you support gay marriage, shouldn't you in the same breath support polygamy? Please do not bring up underage marriage and pedophile etc. There have already been laws in place for those.

I am talking about consenting adults who want to practice polygamy, both polygyny and polyandry.

By the way, if you want to spread the wealth of the rich people, polygamy is the way to go. In two generations, their wealth would be gone because they have to support all the wives and kids. :-)

No. That's like saying that if you like apples, you must also like walnuts, because both grow on trees.

Only if it allows for both polygyny and polyandry.

If so, then yes.

I don't care if someone is a polygamist. I personally would never want to be a part of that but I could give two hoots if others want to. Not hurting me in the least.

I don't have any problem whatsoever with polygamy. In my opinion (which I posted in another thread), if two, three, four, or more consenting adults want to get married, there shouldn't be any legislation that prohibits them from doing so. At the core of the opposition to gay marriage and polygamy is an issue of morality, and I don't feel that morality can or should be legislated. It isn't the government's job to tell us what our morals should be until such a point that we are causing harm to others. Gay marriage and polygamy aren't harming anyone, and should therefore not be subject to any sort of legislative prohibition.
