Gay Marriage First...Next is Polygamy!
We have said all along that once the push goes through to legalize gay marriage, then the polygamists will be next!
Hey!...why not? One wife for cleaning, one wife for cooking and childcare and one wife for the bedroom!! That way no one gets tired and everyone is happy!!
Or....three wives to work and one husband to stay home with the kid and take him to the park!!
These Mormons and Muslims may be on to something!!
WASHINGTON (BP) -- Redefining marriage to include same-sex couples would
jettison the rationale and logic behind prohibitions on polygamous marriages,
according to several friend-of-the court briefs urging the U.S. Supreme Court to
uphold the traditional definition of marriage.
"Ultimately, there is no
principled basis for recognizing a legality of same-sex marriage without
simultaneously providing a basis for the legality of consensual polygamy or
certain adult incestuous relationships," reads one of the briefs, filed by the
Christian legal group Liberty Counsel. "In fact, every argument for same-sex
marriage is an argument for them as well."
A friend-of-the-court brief signed by 18 state attorneys general also briefly
warns about the potential legalization of polygamy if gay marriage is legalized.
The brief -- which supports Prop 8 -- says the traditional definition of
marriage is tied to the fact that only a man and woman can reproduce, thus
continuing society's very existence. The state has an interest, the brief says,
to see that children are raised, ideally, by the mother and father who beget
them. A mother and father in each home is "optimal for children and society at
large."
"Once the natural limits that inhere in the relationship between
a man and a woman can no longer sustain the definition of marriage, the
conclusion that follows is that any grouping of adults would have an equal claim
to marriage," the attorneys general brief states, arguing that marriage no
longer would be about the needs of children but about the desires of adults.

Hey, wait a tick...I just thought of something....what if some woman wanted to be married to three men? One to cook, one to clean and one for the bedroom?? Yeah...that doesn't sound as good for my team....
Mark my words...at some point in time a bizarre woman is going to step forward and say, "My pet chimp, Waldo, is 99.8% human...and he treats me better than any man ever has. He is kind, considerate, he never sasses me and he's pretty dang good in the sack! We are in love and I demand that the state recognize our rights!! We want to get married and I want to leave my estate in trust to him and demand my Social Security be paid to him after I die."
And sure enough, some liberal judge somewhere will say, "Yeah! That makes perfect sense!"
And PETA will say, "It's about time animals got their equality with humans!! We all came from the same ancestor!!"
"Good will be called evil and evil will be called good."
