A huge melee is being raised about the legality of a very unorthodox form of marriage. This has been done before, and that outcome will play a role in the present situation. Look up Reynolds v. The United States (1878) and read over it. What are the reasons the Supreme Court cites for banning polygamy? How are they similar to an argument that can be raised against "same-sex marriages"?
What do you think? If polygamy is illegal should "same-sex marriages" also be? Is there enough of a difference to grant homosexuals the right to marry while still denying polygamists that right?
Be it known that I am in no way a proponent of polygamy, I just think this is an interesting corrolation.
