I was thinking about this whole "gay marriage/polygamy" bullshit the other morning.
Have any of the countries or states that have legalized SSM (I really hate that acronym) gone on to legalize polygamy?
Is this a real and credible threat?
Or is it just bullshit?
To be very honest, sometimes I think anyone wanting to legalize polygamy may have an argument, considering that polygamy is supported by some religions, like Islam and Mormonism. At least they can claim freedom of religion, and the fact that polygamy dates back to ancient times, unlike SSM. And if there were any SSM back in the day, it was not as common as polygamy.
And then there are those who really believe that no one has the right to say that multiple people can't be in love as a group and can't get married. I think some time ago, some lawyer in Brazil somehow got three people married and had other clients who wanted polygamous marriages.
But as you said, any country that allows SSM has not allowed polygamy either. Plus, there aren't a large number of people lining up and demanding their right for polygamous unions. So I don't think worrying about polygamy is really worth it. And I don't think there will be a demand in the future. Besides, having two people in a relationship is hard enough, who would want a third or fourth? Heck, some people are swearing off marriage and relationships altogether because its such hard work.
