Well, a mere half-decade down the slippery slope and here we are, with the marrying kind of Bountiful, B.C., headed for the Supreme Court of Canada. Five years ago, proponents of same-sex marriage went into full you-cannot-be-serious eye-rolling mode when naysayers warned that polygamy would be next. As I wrote in that Western Standard piece:

You are in the land where nobody gives a damn about anything but themselves.

Once the definition of Marriage as
One Man / One Woman is breached
there is no logical argument against
other nontraditional unions

Polygamy
Polyandry
Same Gender
Plural Marriage
Bestiality Unions
Cross Species Unions

Anyone who says different is fooling themselves

Don’t forget incest, it would be just as valid.

Their (gays) arguments seem to follow a pattern;from “It can never happen!” to “What can it hurt?”,once it DOES happen!

Or just scrapping the entire concept altogether

The most fundamental societal contract
simply cast out for expedience

"Just behind goat sex"

I don't want to have sex with my dog, but do want to claim her as a dependent for tax purposes.

Some ditzy broad married a dolphin in the UK a year or so ago if I recall correctly.
I haven’t heard how they are doing, whether or not they have any multi-tarded dolph-kids the taxpayers have to pay enormous amounts of tax dollars to keep alive in an aquarium, but you can be certain that “scientists” are working on it, so that their “rights” to reproduce are fulfilled, at our and humanities expense

We will have legal polygamy as soon as some bi-sexual sues for the right to marry his boyfriend and his girlfriend.

The most fundamental societal contract simply cast out for votes and cash. There fixed it for you.

“our” as taxpayers, and at the expense of humanity in general in case that wasn’t clear enough.
