Now that I see the majority of pro-gay marriage are pro-polygamy I am now anti-gay marriage with a passion, even if I had little opinion on it previously.
Lets get this straight. The majority of pro-gay marriage are pro multi-partner? What is this saying? Is it saying that straight people who support gay marriage are all adulterous? Is it saying that gays in general are not faithful to one partner and that open gay marriage might be the norm? This does not look good.


In a nut shell... Straight Liberal supporters of gay marriage really don't believe in monogamous life time relationships. I can see why they support gay marriage- the reality might be that they really have no respect for marriage to begin with...The whole thing is now starting to make sense...Gay marriage supporters are actually anti-marriage....This is worse than I thought. This might be about getting rid of monogamy all together and society will become one huge free for all orgy?

So people can marry, but they have to follow the rules as to how many they can marry?


Yep, another idiotic public double standard.

You're arguing a slippery slope argument. It's a logical fallacy and doesn't hold up.

This is exactly along the lines of thinking that those against interracial marriages were saying way back when. Maybe different flavor, but same idea.

Being familiar with the bible I know that polygamy was okay with god.

Of course, unlike most opponents of marriage equality, I don't consider the bible a guide to either morality or law.

Default go ahead.... open the can of.....

Why limit things to two? Have you not heard of trouples? And why stop there?

"A trouple is three (or more) adult people in a consensual, intimate relationship."

If same sex marriage is immoral to you, don't marry someone of the same sex.

Exactly. Females and males are born at a roughly 50-50 rate. They're not born at a rate of 10 to 1. I hadn't even thought about that till you mentioned it.

ACTUALLY, if you do a study of polygamists in the U.S., you will find that polygamists in the U.S. are the most anti-gay people in this country. They're completely against gays, gay marriage, gay freedom. Polygamists believe that heterosexuality is the right thing (even though polygamists themselves are total perverts and abusers).
