I’ve only been able to stomach that show one time. The “husband” is a total douche nozzle. I don’t know how he talked half a dozen women into moving in with him.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Gay marriage, anyone who tried to sell the idea that it would not lead to efforts to allow both bigamy and incestuous marriage was either lying or kidding themselves. Some may say both should be allowed and would do no harm. They should just be honest about it.

Why should a bisexual be denied the “right” to marry both a man and a woman?

Well, that’s the next step, isn’t it? Once you can’t define “marriage” as one man’s union with one woman, then it’s wide open.

We’re rapidly getting to the point of having no legal barriers to one man and 40 women, one man and one pet goat, or one man and one boy (though hopefully statutory rape laws will still keep NAMBLA from going there).

The only possible way to save this now is a Constitutional amendment defining marriage — for once this religious-(Bible-)based institution became secularized and subject to government benefits, it was only a matter of time before others wanted to have a piece of the pie too.

Honestly, if the state is willing to call two men or two women shacking up a marriage, what possible restrictions can you place on any marriage combinations? Its the proverbial slippery slope.

Polygamy has a long history and is still practiced throughout the world. There is certainly much more precendent for it than two dudes calling themselves a married couple.

I’m not suggesting that I support any of this, but on what basis could you stop polygamy if you allow homosexuals and all the other “sexuals” to redefine marriage.

Why not?

If gays can marry who are we to define the relationship between other persons, objects or animals.

/S

My solution? Should I ever marry there will be no formal declaration or permission granted to or by the state.

We will agree and go before a priest or pastor.

If there is a need to formalize our relationship we can go to a lawyer and do that.

Lot’s of work in the beginning that will require thinking about a committed relationship and may lead to both of us working on things we may not have given much thought to.

Maybe this isn't the "Sister Wives" you were referring to. However, I found this YouTube Video ... ummm ... interesting.

Actually, this particular "Sister Wives" video put me on the floor LMAO. "Hysterical pregnancy", I'm still laughing. :)

As the Oak Ridge Boys sing, trying to love two women is like a ball and chain. To which I add, trying to love any more than that is like taking a swim wrapped in anchor chain.

Congress only allowed Utah, and Idaho, and Arizona, and Oklahoma, into the Union if they would forever foreswear plural marriage.

This move is a direct challenge to the moral natural law basis of our free republic, in more ways than one.

Thank you for the post.

"There are tens of thousands of plural families in Utah and other states. We are one of those families. We only wish to live our private lives according our beliefs," Kody Brown said

If Kody Brown et.al. wanted to live private lives then they should have stayed off reality TV. I don't think anyone thought the program "Sister Wives" was any thing but a precursor to legalize bigamy. That said, they have opened themselves up to scrutiny - and there is plenty of evidence that all is not peachy in polygamy land.

Alleged bankruptcy fraud, abuse of the food stamp system and a myriad of other questionable ethical practices have emerged.

See: http://tripleap.blogspot.com/ - June 11th and 12th posting for documentation.

I feel very sorry for the children who are being used as pawns in this attempt at public manipulation. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this purposely sanitized version of polygamy in contrast to the much publicized upcoming trial of Warren Jeffs.
