Homosexuals Can Now Marry, So Why Not Legalise Polygamy?

Please explain to me how you've made a comparison between homosexuality and polygamy, because I'm struggling to find one!

Yawn. The country has already had the gay-marriage debate; we won, you lost. That means you get to sit down and shut up now

Again thats not the point. As I said, why shouldn't it be an option for people to freely choose to enter into? Many/most may not. But there are some who do wish and have multiple lovers (legitimately). Polyamorous relationships are not about forcing people into anything. They are predicated on consent. So I'm still not sure how polygamy or polyandry are anti-woman or anti-man.

Because who ****ing wants it ? Show me all the polygamous groups calling for this ????

please show me all the political groups pressuring us to legalise polygamous marriage

There are plenty of people who are in non-monogamous relationships. I don't really think that people advocating for their rights makes their right legitimate.

Similarly I do not believe that same-sex couples should not have had the right prior to political groups pressuring for it.

You again, haven't addressed how it is anti-women.

Also there are plenty of polyamorous people/groups which advocate for marriage rights. Just do a google search...really.

So why exclude these legal benefits from those who want to recognise their polygamous arrangement via a "marriage"? That was the point I was making.

no I won't do a google search why don't you actually show me ? I have never heard of any and that is testimony to how insignificant this alleged cause is

You conveniently ignore half of my post. Do you think having advocacy groups is the basis for granting rights of equal treatment?

You made the claim that there weren't any. Even basic research would show otherwise. Why is it on me to provide the source. Go to google and stop being a lazy prick.

I'll be nice though and give you a start. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/06/24/polyamorous-advocate-gay-marriage-blazing-the-marriage-equality-trail Look people do advocate for it! It may not be getting much media or political attention but its rather ignorant to claim that nobody wants it.

I think polygamy should be legalised.

It's ridiculously hypocritical for someone to support homosexual marriage but oppose polygamy.

firstly it is not my position to justify your own argument


Secondly Any of the these groups in Britain ?????

I haven't out forward any arguments...only questioned yours. still haven't answered why polygamy is anti-women. Nor whether or not having activist groups is the basis for granting equality under the law.

Really just do your own research jeez.

Activism shows a desire to change law there is no desire to change marriage laws to allow polygamy as you have failed to show me. The historical view on polygamy is sexist because they are historically attached to religion that views women as lesser

Consenting adults who are in love with each other, their love is harming nobody, why shouldn't they be allowed to get married?

Marriage was well defined between a man and a woman. Homosexuality and polygamy and various other possible arrangements did not come into it.

Now it has been arbitrarily expanded to include pink marriage and all the propaganda/arguments made by their side apply to further expansions to include other arrangements including polygamy which are at present excluded.

I think you misunderstood my post, I'm not against homosexuals. I'm against the OP and his ridiculous link of homosexual marriage with polygamy - because there is no link...

(Unless I've misunderstood your reply) there is no need for polygamy because if somebody truly loved somebody else there'd be no need to have another married partner.

I provided an example of an article pushing for polygamous marriage. Furthermore, if you read the article you would see that people may actually want it but don't seek it because it seems impossible And I ask again if activism is required for there to be a change. Whether anyone is outing the arguments forward doesn't make them less valid. at the very least we could say this thread is an example that people are considering the possibility.

The historical practice has been quite misogynistic and unfair towards women but I asked about polygamy as a concept it is not limited to that form or do you think it is?

A) Who gave you the right to tell other people what they feel?

B) Where does it say you have to be in love to get married? Because there's an awful lot of Society weddings which are basically business deals in a dress are going to fall flat on their **** if that's a new requirement.

you did not show me any groups in Britain you only showed me some obscure group in America. If we are talking about Britain and british law I would ask that you at least show me some group that is advocating change in the law from this side of the pond
