That didn’t take long. Salon magazine this morning is extolling the virtues of multi-spouse marriages.
Same-sex “marriage” proponents have always scoffed at the idea that redefining marriage would open the door for multi-spouse marriages. “My Two Husbands by Angi Becker Stevens, not only argues for “poly-amorous” unions but continues to scoff at the foolish “right wing” people who expected people to go there. Her article is novel only in that it also scoffs at the same-sex marriage definers who argued back that it wouldn’t.
Stevens has been married for 16 years to her husband, and has now taken a boy\friend who she says she plans to marry in a “non-legal” way.
“With every stride forward for marriage equality, I can count on turning on the TV to find conservative talking heads lumping families like mine in with pedophilia and bestiality. But liberals, for the most part, don’t treat us much better. They’re quick to insist that same-sex marriage would never, ever lead to such awful things”.
The author uses her 9-year-old daughter to deflect criticism. Her daughter dutifully and understandably repeats the adult arguments for same-sex marriage and applies them to the
“When my daughter talks about same-sex marriage or polyamorous relationships, she always looks perplexed and says, ‘I don’t understand why anyone is angry about people being in love and not hurting anyone.’ And I long for a world where everyone is able to see it so simply.
And later …
“Whenever I mention the claims that polyamory is bad for children, she rolls her eyes and says, ‘Oh no, kids having more people to love them! How horrible!’”
In the style of such articles, the author doesn’t make a case against monogamous marriage on principle, or for multi-spouse “marriage” on principle. Instead, it presents the facts of a particular situation as a fait accompli and challenges you to argue why it is not so. She felt repressed before and says “I am more fulfilled now and living in a way that feels authentic for me.”
Apply a simple thought experiment, and her argument starts to wither. Imagine the article being written by a man about bringing a “girlfriend” into his life and convincing his wife to tolerate it. Or imagine a Mormon talking about his repressed relationship with God instead of a political activist talking about her repressed human relationships. Salon wouldn’t have published those pieces.
But they did publish this one.
Because “love makes a marriage” now. And to say otherwise means you’re a hater.
For the record: I love these people. I wish them all the best in their personal lives. But I oppose multi-spouse marriage anyway.

Many of us have said this kind of thing and far far worse are coming now that homosexuals have had such great success getting the MSM, idiot politicians and others on their side. This is only the beginning.
>>Train wreck ahead, ping!
Nothin’ like a good ol Tribal civil war to stir the pot-o-ashes.
I think it’s part of the cycle that’s self-evident in Romans 1:25+
The sheeple raise up their religious idols — “and because of this God gave them over”, again.
we don’t let the naive and inexperienced, and who are learning and have yet to learn, much about morality anddetermining right and wrong, determine what is moral and what isn’t. and children are not Jesus Christ who could rebuke adults doing immoral things, so just so don’t go there.
Non-loving-friend-roommate-civil-unions-for-tax-breaks are next. Among dozens of people. No argument against it anymore.
Is that what it will take to eliminate polygamy and homo marriage?"
Probably so.
“Young kids are next......NAMBLA..... I can already taste the vomit in my mouth”
Sure, as long as it’s a consensual relationship. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?
And then as surely as they buckled on polyamory, some day they’ll buckle on consent. I mean, isn’t it just plain selfish to withhold your body from someone? You watch! It’ll happen in my lifetime.
This society gets more Orwellian by the minute.
salon.com = crap sandwich website
what a kook, it is bad enough having to deal with one husband, why would anybody want two
remember that all your wives can have other husbands
those STD’s will spread quick
Thanks NYer.
State Dept. Will Recognize Foreign Same-Sex Marriages — But Not Polygamous Ones

I love my parents....a lot.
I love my children....a lot.
I loved my grandparents....a lot.
I love my aunts, uncles and cousins....a lot.
Does that mean I’m in some sort of incestuous “polyamorous” relationship with all of them? After all, I guess it’s only love that makes a marriage now.
How repulsive. You know it’s going to be siblings, animals, etc.....next.
Pope Paul VI was right.
I watch that “Sister Wives” show and followed “Big Love” also. Both are about chaos with indoctrinated kids being co-lateral damage in FLDS.
It’s like the men who have fathered 20+ children by many different women. There’s just no way the off-spring get a healthy upbringing and they will then repeat what they know.
I’m sure pedophiles will jump on this bandwagon next and woe to the above who set the precedents.
Raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. All those poor children will now think wrong is right.

She is a reptoid, there is a difference, reptoids come from the innner earth, ie. Hell
the hell you say
Nothing would surprise me these days.
I’ve been telling my wife for years I want to marry our cat. For some reason she just laughs and doesn’t get jealous. But one day it’s going to happen.
I wanna go back in time and marry my 8 year old self, and every scientist who doesn’t invent a time machine for me is a hater.
(actually I plan to use the time machine to deliver a box of “Plan B” to a Ms. Dunham in Hawaii in the early 1960’s. But don;t tell the liberals that.... )
Once you redefine marriage, it will continue to be redefined --- out of existence.
now that is plain weird even for you :)
