The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose civil unions that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name.
Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalised in all but name. Last Friday the first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal married both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.
I love both Bianca and Mirjam, so I am marrying them both, Victor said. He had previously been married to Bianca. Two and a half years ago they met Mirjam Geven through an internet chatbox. Eight weeks later Mirjam deserted her husband and came to live with Victor and Bianca. After Mirjams divorce the threesome decided to marry.
Victor: A marriage between three persons is not possible in the Netherlands, but a civil union is. We went to the notary in our marriage costume and exchanged rings. We consider this to be just an ordinary marriage.
Asked by journalists to tell the secret of their peculiar relationship, Victor explained that there is no jealousy between them. But this is because Mirjam and Bianca are bisexual. I think that with two heterosexual women it would be more difficult. Victor stressed, however, that he is a one hundred per cent heterosexual and that a fourth person will not be allowed into the marriage. They want to take their marriage obligations seriously: to be honest and open with each other and not philander.
Is it my imagination or does the happy groom look just a little like Dr. Evil?
Well, it doubles your chances of getting the garbage taken out :lol:.

Judging from his appearance - he must have a NICE bank account.
They didn't marry him for his looks.
Any male offspring of theirs will probably look like "mini-me".

"On the other hand, who would want two husbands?
Well, it doubles your chances of getting the garbage taken out :lol:."
Not really. 50% one takes it out; 50% the other. 50% x 50% = 25% !
:)
Nope, two mother in laws, two wives with their menses synchronized to ocurr at the same time, two charge accounts for sales at the expensive stores........
Worked for the Mormons.
Works for muslims too and since they may be the majority of the population in the Netherland, in years to come, they should be real pleased.
Next!
Gawd what a pathetic joke. He MUST have loads of money cause Mr. Potato head sure didn't hook those two ditzs on his looks. Ewww
LOL.
He damn sure does!
I suspect that after these ladies sue him for divorce, they'll get one million dollars...
Freep mail a'comin...
If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."
The amazing thing to me is how little time it took to show he was right.
Historically, the entire point of polygamy was to provide multiple women with the financial security of a wealthy male at the expense of the other less successful men in the community.
I don't see what the big deal is.
Thanks very much for posting his words. Remember how he was practically burned at the stake? How outraged the homosexual promoters and their assistants were? Sputtering with offended sensibilities.
It didn't take long at all.
To the Victor go the goils.
