BRING BACK POLYGAMY!

Well, in some countries it never went out of fashion.
Besides, what have gay marriage to do with polygamy? [/QUOTE]Well we're throwing open the definition of marriage. Why can't two men, or two women, or a man and women marry a third or fourth party? Why should marriage be preclusive? Two people commiting for life publicly right? What does it matter if they're committed to another? I mean we're opening up the definition now right? Why stop here?
In any case, you can't stop language. We'll just use words that describe procreating couples, as distinct from non-procreating couples.
At the end of the day, a healthy man and woman have to go to extra-ordinary lengths to avoid having children.
Same sex couples on the other hand, have to go to extra-ordinary lengths to HAVE children.
Kind of says it all really.
Equality is a myth, but blame it on nature.
