And the reason this becomes news, polygamist in Canada are using the argument that is gays are allowed, their lifestyle should also be allowed..

Tories 'prepared to defend' polygamy ban (http://www.globaltv.com/globaltv/bc/Tories+prepared+defend+polygamy/1423623/story.html - broken link)

Who didnt see this coming...

Oh yeah raping/incest young girls is great! Casting young boys out of the compounds because they pose a threat for the attentions of the young girls so the old men can have them.
Keeping the girls and women basically illiterate and uneducated so they can control them is great too right

So? Who cares if someone wants multiple wives or husbands. As long as they're all consenting adults, big whoop.

No, that's people who came from a fundamentalist cult, and does not involve consenting adults.

Totally misleading title... gays aren't supporting polygamy. Polygamists are trying to gain the same rights as gays....

I am sure you didn't mean to twist the truth a little, did you?
By the way, the first link does not work.

Yes, those are the real perverts, nuts forcing young girls to sleep with old geezers and bear their children. If consenting adults want to live in a polygamous relationship, I couldn't care less, but leave children out of it. What those people are is something else, child molesters and perverts.

But the most interesting part is, that back when this happened a lot of posters here defended this type of behavior, because that is "how their culture is and how they grew up" or even more scary, because in some cultures such young girls are also married off.... now we want to compete with countries like Afghanistan?
