Is Polygamy The Next Gay Marriage?

[JakeStarkey]

Rock Hudson - Phyllis Gates married 1955
Sally Ride - Steven Hawley married 1982
Meredith Baxter - Robert Bush married 1966; David Birney married 1974; Michael Blodgett married 1995

Homosexuals have never been denied the right to marry.

You and Pop are now denying that you said gays could always marry each other?

That's why the millennials distrust your sort: they know you lie about this subject.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Your comparison fails. There is no connection between interracial marriage and homosexual "marriage." Better luck next time.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, which is not based on facts. And yes government can and does and will favor certain aspects of life as long as it does not violate constitutional rights. Your rights on this issue have not been violated.

Rik and bripat, the anarcho commie who calls others commies (love that), continue to amuse us.

You are going to have to accept that there is no slippery slope between marriage equality and polygamy.

 

[rightwinger]

Pop is right

Gays can marry in 16 states and it won't be long before they can marry everywhere

Gays can, and have married in all 50 states since our country was formed.

But not like you'd like Pops

Your days of harassing gays are over. The tide has turned and despite your pathetic legal arguments, gays will be getting married in every state by the end of the decade

Sucks being you

Sucks being you

Gays have been getting married, in the same manner as straights in all 50 states since the beginning of this country.

Are you stupid?

Yet others on your side of the argument have said there's no reason to not allow it. Which is it?

Your silly games may have been fun years ago but they are now irrelevant. We have had legal gay marriage for ten years now and none of the rightwing fear mongering has panned out. Most people no longer care, it is not a big deal if gays marry
The SCOTUS will soon deliver a decision which will put you out of your misery and tell you what everyone already knows......There is no valid reason to prevent gays from marrying

Silly

There is no valid reason that a Daughter with a child with severe medical needs should not marry her Mother so the child can be put on the Grandmothers health insurance policy.

And I'm still waiting for that link.

The valid reason is that incest is illegal. Homosexuality is not

 

[NYcarbineer]

Polygamy is the next Gay Marriage?

Wouldn't Polygamy actually be the next Heterosexual Marriage?

So, since gay marriage is / was illegal, then that is a valid reason to keep it illegal?

Your flawed logic is showing.

Actually, yes

There was a time when homosexuality was illegal. That, in itself would have negated gay marriage

What?

Procreation?

It has been demonstrated that incestuous relationships harm society and create deformed offspring. Society can demonstrate specific reasons to ban it

You have failed to demonstrate any way that gay relationships harm society.....other than you hate fags

 

[ShackledNation]

Incest is irrelevant to both polygamy and same-sex marriage, so why it is brought upmay in this topic is beyond me. Oh, and polygamy is irrelevant to same-sex marriage to.

SSM opponent: "Same-sex marriage is bad and should be illegal."

Rational human being: "What is the government interest in denying same-sex couples the right to marry? What harm is caused by them marrying?"

SSM opponent: "Polygamy is wrong, that's why!!"

Rational human being: "..."

Too many people need to educate themselves about what a red herring is.

Hey Rightwinger, my example was a Mother/Daughter. Please demonstrate how the two of them could create an offspring DEFORMED OR OTHERWISE

Quit the deflection

Besides, it is Your sides argument that procreation should not be an issue in marriage.

OK

Change the incest laws to allow mother-daughter relations and we can discuss

Until then, there are NO LAWS banning homosexuality and no justifications to ban gay marriage

 

[boilermaker55]

What the hell do you care? No one told you who to marry did they?
If they did...shame on you.

The homo lobby swore over and over again that this issue would never come up. Now it's undeniable that we're headed down the slippery slope.

Is Polygamy the Next Gay Marriage - The Daily Beast

Back in the early days of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement’s push for marriage equality, this slippery slope to polygamy was pragmatically taboo. After all, arguments about gay marriage leading to polygamy were lobbed almost entirely with the purpose of derailing the gay rights agenda. And there was also something inherently offensive about making the connection, along the same lines of suggesting that gay marriage would lead to people marrying goats. Never mind the fact that opposite-sex goat-human marriage had been looming as a dangerous temptation all along…

Still, people often mention polygamy and gay marriage in the same sentence (not to mention the same essay). Recently—in, surprise, Utah—a judge struck down a part of that state’s anti-polygamy law. Mind you, the Utah law makes it a felony punishable by up to five years in prison when someone “cohabits with another person” to whom they aren’t legally married. This makes me wonder whether Utah also outlaws the combustion engine, the Internet and other realities of modern life, but anyway there you have it.

The legal challenge came after the state sued the stars of Sister Wives, a TV show that follows the real life of one husband, his four wives, and their 17 children. Now here’s the thing: Sister Wives premiered in September 2010, but Kody and Meri married in 1990, Kody and Janelle married in 1993, and Kody and Christine married in 1994. In other words, all those marriages predate even the earliest adoption of gay marriage in America, which was in Massachusetts in 2004. And second, in the Sister Wives family, Kody married each of the women, but the women didn’t marry each other.

In other words, polygamy, as it generally is practiced in the United States, is a predominantly heterosexual enterprise—like heterosexuality (or the male ideal of heterosexuality) on steroids. After all, while the percentage of married women who have affairs has risen in recent decades, married men still do most of the cheating. Conservatives concerned about the high rate of divorce in America should stop blaming gay marriage but instead heterosexual infidelity—a prime culprit in 55 percent of divorces.

If couples want to bring cheating out of the deceitful shadows and instead incorporate it openly into their relationship—plus have more hands on deck for kids and more earners in the household in a tough economy—who are we to judge?

Seriously, I’m a bit too traditional and jealous for that sort of thing, but I’m also too traditional to wear jeggings outside the house. Still, you (mostly) don’t see me judging anyone else for doing so.

In 2013 when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality for same-sex couples, pro-polygamy groups heralded the ruling as a step away from the conventional one-man one-woman definition of marriage and, thus, as opening the door to polygamy. I get that, and to an extent pro-polygamy activists may be trying to latch their still-widely unpopular cause onto the increasingly victorious rainbow bandwagon. ​
