Who are we to stop three or four people who LOVE each other from expressing themselves in a legal bond of marriage?

They dont hurt anyone!

This will strengthen marriage not hurt it.

Jimmy will be better off with a few married mommies or daddies. No need for babysitters.

“Polygamy bans are built on fear and misunderstanding”

The first shot across the bow for this next cultural backslide into the gutter.

The thing is, those of us who know right from wrong, have hardened our skin over the years against accusations of ‘bigotry’ and ‘hatred’ so being called a polyphobe is likely to just roll right off our backs

Some libertarians argue that the solution to this problem is to get the state out of the marriage business entirely. I would be sympathetic to this approach if I could understand what it means. Is the entire field of family law, which has been an important part of our civilization’s legal structure for centuries, to go out of existence? How can you have family law without marriage law? I don’t get it.

The libertarians are right on this point, even if we don't know the consequences.

Marriage law is in such shambles in this country that you now have an entire area of law -- divorce law -- dedicated to the dissolutions of what would be considered binding contracts in any other area of law.

If real estate contracts had the same track record (imagine selling a house and then suing the buyer 15 years later to force him to give it back to you), that entire area of law would be laughed out of existence and there would be no such thing as a real estate contract anymore.

Legal marriage should always be one man and one marriage. Freaks can live together and call each other honey but that doesn’t mean society has to condone it.

Coming? It has been here forever. In fact, Noah was a polygamist big time. Some big time Bible folks were married to numerous people. I would never want to marry another wife…..good Lord who has the time and money? lol. However, this is much different than the deranged gay marriage. Polygamy has biblical beginnings which if God was for it then how can we be against it? Explain that to me please!

That is not very open minded,

What if three people love each other?

Dont they have a right to all marry each other?

It can’t be. The protagonists of gay marriage assured us that gay marriage wouldn’t become an open door for all kinds of perversion, even though polygamy is the next logical step. ...We’ve opened a door that can’t be closed, and all kinds of perversion will walk through it.

If this takes hold, their will be a hole lot of men without Wives and a few with many. Not exactly an equal outcome. Where is the cry for equality in this matter?

I’m not a polygamy supporter myself but I figure they’ll just argue that women will be allowed to have one or more husbands as well and that will take care of that.
