There is more historical precedent for plural marriage than for gay marriage. Courts and legislatures have put same sex marriage on the same footing as traditional one man one woman marriage, but all their reasons and arguments can apply to polygamy just as easily.

We cater to the 10% of the population that is gay yet discriminate against the nearly 100% of the population that naturally favors multiple partners.

How does that make sense?

You are right. The same legal arguments that have been successfully used in court to push homosexual marriage, can and will be used to push polygamy.

Changing the definition of marriage does not end with monogamous homosexual marriage. Homosexual groups openly say that they want to get to a point in which marriage can consist of groups of people, any number partners, any gender of partners. The MSM doesn’t report this as their final goals, but, they admit it. If you can stand it, check out some homosexual themed sites and you will find this information.

Considering all of this going on, it’s not hard to imagine that people who practice polygamy on the down low, will start to sue for their “equal” rights.
