Everyone can save time by just noting this article comes from Huffington Post, and is therefore automatically concentrated idiocy.
Polygamy is not next, pederasty and pedophilia are
That is the most pathetic , weak argument I have veer heard or read about not opening the door to polygamy. Sadly some left wing sheep will read that and then repeat it and then think they sound really educated about the issue.
I’m sure we have all met one like that.
“everything else still works exactly the same way...”
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
And they've blown that one up too.
A BS article that fools nobody.
Too many USSC watch MSNBC and are out of touch with reality. Too many clerks coming from yale and Harvard.
Too many sheep who read this crap and then repeat what the article states and then thinking they sound educated.
Hmmm, well muslims like polygamy. Are leftists really going to deny muslims their right to have 4 wives?
I am sure it was “difficult” to repeal the Jim Crow laws, but difficulty to implement does not affect whether something is just.
The fact of the matter is. Polygamy was the norm through most of human history. Gay marriage has never happened.
How is it obvious? The author needs to explain.
marriage is a contract to benefit society. IOW production of children.
Two homosexuals have no physical way to “deliver”.
Society rewards the institution not the individual. Even a childless man and woman prove the model that benefits society. This whole article is premised on children not being a part of marriage.
for those on the left, marriage is NOT a contract it is an institution. Religion never needs enter the legal equation.
The question is - why is the “new” definition any “better” than the old definition,
and why would any “newer” definition not be “better” than the “new” definition?
Considering that polygamy is already accepted in the Muslim world, and has been for over a thousand years, and even has biblical precedent, I would think that HuffPo is being disingenuous.
Opposing polygamy is offensive to Muslims...
so we better allow it, right, libs?
If gay marriage is legalized heterosexual marriage will end. Marriage will simply be a contract of shared property between any 2 (or more) people living together. The institution will cease to exist in legal form.
Biblical polygamists: Abdon, Abijah, Abraham, Ahab, Ahasuerus, Ashur, Belshazzar, Benhadad, Caleb, David,
Eliphaz, Elkanah, Esau, Ezra, Gideon,
Heman, Hosea, Ibzan, Issachar, Jacob,
Jair, Jehoiachin, Jehoram, Jerahmeel, Joash,
Lamech, Machir, Manasseh, Mered, Moses,
Nahor, Rehoboam, Saul, Shaharaim, Shimei,
Simeon, Solomon, Terah, Zedekiah, Ziba, and on and on.

It really ended in 1970 with no-fault divorce. Since then, the divorce rate has doubled.
“No-fault divorce” originated in the USSR in 1918, with the intention of annihilating the family.
The divorce rate in the US in the late 1800s was about 1 per 100, IIRC.
