Polygamy has existed successfully for a long time in other cultures without bringing them to collapse. My point in the article is that the arguments in favor of gay marriage don’t work in favor of polygamy, because nobody in our society legally has multiple wives. All the gays want is the same rights that everyone else has. Polygamists already have the same rights as everyone else: The right to marry one other person.

I’d prefer to keep marriage to two people. That already creates enough grief for us all. If it were up to me, we’d all go back to reproducing asexually. If society wants to allow polygamy, then we should have that discussion (write your congressman). Who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind. But if we allow multiple wives, we also have to allow multiple husbands.

Yeah, I don’t really see the whole “incestuous marriage” thing as a bandwagon that’s gaining speed. Polygamy, though, doesn’t really bother me. I know I’m departing with even some of my readers with that one (possibly even you, Bay), but I really could give a rat’s ass how many wives you want to have, as long as they’re all consenting.

Thanks for covering my back

And then there’s the fact that, you know, a lot of gay people want to get married, but next to nobody wants to marry his sister.
