Of course he would argue against polygamy. It would underscore the immorality of the Gay movement.

I don’t think the author fails to understand the matter.

I think the author is dishonest about the matter.

If I sound exasperated, it's because the polygamy argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny. That doesn't stop it from popping up everywhere.

Ten years ago this was said about homosexual marriage.

Dream on, guy

If homosexuals can marry via an Unconstitional judicial power grab and hardly a peep, crossdressers get “Courage” awards with panderers falling over each other in the process . .

Then the Multiple Marriage Crowd can’t be too far behind

Nor the pedophiles

And who knows what else

So how does the 14th amendment apply to his select group and not everyone else? The TX lawsuit going all the way to the Supreme’s and then them agreeing to use the 14th opened that door, not anyone else....

By allowing high-status men to hoard wives

What makes him think this is a one way street. Sexist pig.

He acts like this hasn’t happened already.
Sorry Bubba the black robed tyrants said I can marry anyone, anything, or whatever multiples of each I desire.

He either doesn’t understand how legal precedent works, or he thinks we don’t.

It’s open season, the leftist liers are out in droves. “Oh no Churches wont have to perform gay marriages, oh no they won’t lose tax exemption.

All liers, bull dyke Kagen has given them the green light. The same Justice whom lied about there being anything in the Constitution which allowed for gay marriage just a few years ago. Was there a Constitional amendment meantime?

By allowing high-status men to hoard wives at the expense of lower-status men, polygamy withdraws the opportunity to marry from people who now have it; same-sex marriage, by contrast, extends the opportunity to marry to people who now lack it.

By that logic, you should be able to marry your sheep, your goat, your camel, your sex robot, your dildo, or your sister. The guy is off his meds. If he really believed this, he'd rail against China's one child policy which results in almost no opportunity for men to marry.

Ooops, wrong again, Politico!

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife.

Nathan Collier and his wives Victoria and Christine applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimize their polygamous marriage. Montana, like all 50 states, outlaws bigamy — holding multiple marriage licenses — but Collier said he plans to sue if the application is denied.

It will be some unelected federal judge who will approve polygamy using tortured legal reasoning and the SCOTUS will uphold it 5-4. Federal judges will also uphold persecution of Christian churches that do not support gay marriage
