Why is gay marriage legal, but not polygamy?

[hangover]

Is the Mormon church going to be the next decision for the SC?

Thoughts?

The public opinion -- the political pressure is not there. There are not enough people seeking multi-partner marriage to pressure the courts into accepting it. That being said, most of the same fundamental arguments used to support same sex marriage would also apply to polygamy.

If there were tax advantages to polygamy you can bet it would be on the docket.

I know it would be big-o-me to take on another wife...

There may be some bisexual groups that want to marry...........

The whole state of Utah...and there's many Mormons in a lot of other states.
Warren Jeffs got ten years in Texas. Think he's not going to appeal?

I am more concerned with the maintenance part, cost, time involved...

With equality for women these days, they could be the providers. I know my wife could use some help.

I feel the same way as I do about gay marriage. It does no harm to me so I don't really care if they marry

I know, it's like every time I get sat down and comfortable they want me to get up and do something...

1) The Mormon Church opposes polygamy. So no.
2) If you want to pursue a polygamous marriage, you can go to court- I think you will fail- but you have the legal right to claim that your Constitutional right to marry your sister wives is being violated- go for it- let us know how it goes.

I might not go this way but I can easily see it going this way. The argument for gay marriage is that there is an economic benefit to being married. OK, then if that be the case and there are two spinster sisters living together they might as well get married, or brothers. What's stopping them now?

What does me owning a hand gun hurt anyone?

BTW, no one, they should definitely get married the term is meaningless now any way.

Blame it on the curse.

What an ignorant post? Are you not aware that the LDS have disavowed polygamy for more than a century!

Ignorance is not knowing how many bigamists live in Utah that are Mormon.
