Polygamy is VASTLY more natural than homosexuality. Also accepted in the Bible.

True, but his argument is that it is not progressive and that it is in fact regressive. His point is correct, and the USSC's conservatives will unite with the USSC's progressives to strike down any hint of Biblical multiple marriage.

“I’d like to hear this writer’s explanation of why two brothers couldn’t marry each other under the new rules.”

The word “Marriage” is losing meaning. You say he’s married. Is he married to a female, more than one female, another male, a bunch of males, a 12 year old boy, a sheep, his sister, etc.

Regarding marrying a relative, there’s a biological reason why that is forbidden, but gosh, wonder if they’re truly in love?

Normalizing perversion, which leads to criminalizing criticism of said perversion, except for the narrow exception Kennedy carved out for pastors.

Based on SCOTUS decision then nothing blocks polygamy as it can fall under the equal protection clause and the homosexuals need to shut up about trying to stop them seeing as their sham of a pretend marriage is as lawful as polygamy.

My guess: If we have another president, polygamy will be legal before that president leaves office.

And, what's to stop the government from putting people in prison that disagree with gay marriage for religious reasons?

Kennedy said that was ok, he said ""It must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned,"

Of course if you say SS marriage "must" not be condoned or some other variation, you will be thrown in jail. Especially if you also fly the wrong flag.

Logically, it should have been first. It sure makes more biological sense.

Liberals are Haters.

If people want to be in an Incestuous or Polygamous Marriage, who are Liberals to deny them? After all, it’s all about Equality and Love between Consenting Adults.

Limited equality akin to “All Animals are Equal, but Some Animals are more Equal than others”.

Courts have held that having sexual relations with others while married to one is not a crime (if it were a crime, what would that make the Clintons?).

In a polygamous relationship, don't the other wives and their children need to give rights that are enjoyed by the first wife and her children?

Brown v. Buhman

"On December 13, 2013, US Federal Judge Clark Waddoups ruled that the portions of Utah's anti-polygamy laws which prohibit multiple cohabitation were unconstitutional, but also allowed Utah to maintain its ban on multiple marriage licenses. Unlawful cohabitation, where prosecutors did not need to prove that a marriage ceremony had taken place (only that a couple had lived together), had been a major tool used to prosecute polygamy in Utah since the 1882 Edmunds Act."

I was going to comment about the Article on that Site, but every time I do, they take it down.

They are twisting themselves into Pretzels defending the issue, just like the five Justices did.

Of course, not one Commenter there brought up Incestuous Marriage. Such a Comment would never see the light of day.

Maybe/maybe not, but I can assure that the militant gay mafia will prowl around to find faith based institutions to setup, file lawsuits and shut’m down. First things first ya know.

Normally I would agree with you but I know several Muslims and Mormons.
My Mormon friends consider Polygamy very wrong and the wives despise it.
My Muslim women friends are can’t stand to see what is happening with ISIS right now and would NEVER agree to any man controlling their lives that way.

I DO know several Polyamorous couples, most very happy right now.
Think of it as Swinging Singles with some commitment thrown in.
I’m not advocating, I have just seen it and heard some of the plans.

Took this clown 500 words to say absolutely nothing.

Much as a ruling by the Supreme Court of Penumbras and Emanations, which tend to be even more verbose.

[[No Conservatives, Legalizing Gay Marriage Doesn’t Mean Polygamy Is Next]]

Yep -because liberals have pet sins they approve of and those they condemn- They approve of the ABOMINATION of homosexuality- and think everyone should be FORCED to approve of the ABOMINATION because they do, but by golly the sin of polygamy (which by the way was not deemed an abomination to my knowledge) is much worse than the ABOMINATION of homosexuality according to liberals!

You see, there are no objective truths with liberals- they subjectively pick and choose which ABOMINATIONS they like and don’t like

Could the polygamy argument come first from a Muslim? If this is accepted in their culture and we as a nation seek to accept all cultures...why not?

What’s next is to force gay marriage on churches. It won’t be enough to marry, but to marry in any church they want. Freedom of religion is the next battlefield. They already hate and despise God and His followers. Destruction is next.
