so you support bigamists and polygamists getting "married" and having their marriages recognized as legal and equal to man/woman marriages?
the FACT is that if gays are allowed to "marry" then there is no legal defense that can be put forward to not allow polygamists and bigamists to marry.
I hate to use "slippery slope" but it does apply here.
That's actually fiction.
In fact, according as monogamous or polygamous marriages are allowed, do we find the principles on which the government of the people, to a greater or less extent, rests. Professor, Lieber says, polygamy leads to the patriarchal principle, and which, when applied to large communities, fetters the people in stationary despotism, while that principle cannot long exist in connection with monogamy.
