[re: polygamy/plural marriage]
Sure. Same-sex marriage being allowed IS the open door onto the well-lubricated beginning of the slippery slope down to plural marriage... of multiple men to multiple men .

The dramatic italics on this are fairly amusing. I like to imagine there's a scare chord playing as I read them.
Also, if you believe it'll lead to marriage of multiple men to multiple men... why not multiple women to multiple women?
Well, being well lubricated does help, regardless of sexual persuasion. Other than that, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sounds like a plan to me. Might not be for me, but hey, if a bunch of consenting adults want it, go for it!
well-lubricated beginning
Why, when I read these fanatical denunciations of homosexuality, do I hear fapping in the background?
"well-lubricated"
Freudian Slip much?

I don't really have a problem with polygamy, as long as it is applied equally across the board, which most religious nutters don't approve of. For them, proper polygamy is one man-multiple women. To be fair, it could be one woman-multiple men, multiple men-multiple women, etc.
Jacob, David and Solomon all had multiple wives. Abraham fathered a son with his wife's maid (at his wife's suggestion). Jacob fathered children with his wives' maids. Solomon's concubines ran into the hundreds, as did his wives.
If you explain that homosexual marriage is illegal because the bible opposes it, you will have to explain why plural marriage for heterosexuals is illegal when the bible clearly endorses it. OR, we can simply forget what the bible says about marriage altogether. I favor the latter solution.
I am slightly buzzed on wine this morning (afternoon?) so I'm afraid all I can say is, "Hahahaha, well-lubricated. By the way, you're a fucktard for thinking this way."
I hope so, to be honest. Why the hell not?
My cynical side, however, tends to be more in touch with reality, and says this slippery slope doesn't actually exist, unless its uphill.

Listen, I'm cool with you fundies having your own sexual fantasies and everything but can you please not talk about them in public? Thank you.
@fritistat
We've had people on here denying evolution and gravity, believing in unicorns, saying that repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" will lead to another draft, claiming to have fought demons in a bathtub, and stating that humans cannot explain the existence of rainbows. This is tame by comparison.
ZOMG KY Jelly iz teh Ghey-Sex-Demonz! Menz doin' slippery well-oiled menz! Panic, Janine, panic!
Or just rent a gay porno already and relax.
Yeah, perhaps; but it's never likely to be common. Gays are about 5 percent of the population max; and only a small percentage of that group would be interested in plural marriage. And it's not like those have much chance of being stable relationships (assuming no social coercion keeping them together, such as the practical impossibility of women receiving divorces in male-dominated polygamous societies). It's tough enough to make a two-person marriage work, and that should get exponentially harder with each added personality. I'd say it's unlikely that three durable 15-person marriages of any gender combination would exist in the entire country. Tempest in a teapot.
Marriage used to be a white man marrying a white woman. Black people, being slaves, couldn't legally marry each other, and a white person couldn't legally marry a black person.
Then black people could legally marry, but still couldn't marry white people.
Then black people could marry white people.
Soon, people will be able to marry someone of the same sex.
Someday, people will be able to marry multiple people. And I have no problem with that, either, as long as they're consenting adults.
But do you know what will never happen? People will never be able to marry children or animals. Because children and animals cannot consent.
What is it about consent you people don't get?
Well yeah, of course, did you never realize? Now that gay marriage is legal you HAVE TO MARRY MULTIPLE PARTNERS!!! In your case, WOMEN, since now you HAVE to be gay. IT'S THE LAW!!!
sheesh, get a life.
Gay marriage =/= polygamy, gay marriage is illegal in many states of your country because you simply don't think gays should get married, polygamy however is illegal because it devalues the role of one or more partners in the marriage, and greatly upsets the sexual balance of the relationship, polyamory IE swingers on the other hand is fine, although it can lead to some minor drama, it's not nearly as severe as what is faced in a polygamous relationship
I have no problems with polygamy, who cares what several consenting adults do? Oh right, you, because you can't keep your nose out of everyone's business.
Okay... and this would harm you, how?
Or are you just afraid that no man will ever want you? (Not that I'm surprised by this, I certainly wouldn't want to be with someone so hateful and disgusting.)
I actually don't have a problem with polygamy or gay polygamy, provided all parties are consenting, neither gender is being oppressed, and the individuals haven't been indoctrinated/brainwashed by their upbringing, ala fundamentalist Mormons.

Umm... what makes you think, that gay marriage differs in rules compared to straight marriage?
Are you allowed to have multiple partners in marriage? I'll answer for ya: no, you're not. Marriage is marriage in either case. Same rules, no exceptions.
Montana clerk of the courts office had a married couple come in and apply for another license for a new woman. The press followed because the couple called them to document the "historic" event.
The world is going to Hell by law. Prepare. Not even atheists will escde.
