[Liberal Classic]

This is what I have been saying:

One, it's a free country and what consenting adults do is nobody's business. Two, if gay marriage is legitimized, plural marriage is likely to be next issue. Three, by plural marriage I mean hetero, homo, or both. I am not suggesting legimimizing polygamy only, i.e. marriage between one man and multiple women but not two men and one woman. Four, just because some other cultures are misogynistic does not mean all of them are.

Reading through Saracat's posts again, here is a summary of what she said.

Gay marriage is between equals. Plural marriage is not.
Polygamy denegrates women. Polyandry denegrates men.
Gay marriage is not for procreation "warped genetic one upsmanship"
Artifical insemination of lesbians does not encompass "bloodline competitiveness"
Homosexuality is an innate trait, plural marriage is a choice

Here is where I think we began to miscommunicate:

Plural marriage could be whatever consenting adults make it, whether they be homosexual or straight. Polygamy was designed to elevate the mans position in society by the spreading of his seed and the control of women's ability to procreate.

I am thinking that Saracat and I arrived at pretty close to the same conclusion.
