[quote=SK in CV]BG, you are aware that there are a lot of poly families that aren’t religious at all, no? Those that I’ve known were all 1 man, two women. No exploitation. All by choice. I know at least 1 that has been going strong for at least 15 years. I’m sure that those that have problems with same sex marriage would have similar problems with any poly relationship. But it’s unclear to me why they shouldn’t be able to get married just like anyone else.[/quote]
Yes, I am aware of that and I posted earlier here that if these “wives” who are participating in these “arrangements” are happy in their lives, then it is not mine (or anyone else’s) place to judge them. You are referring to one husband living with two adult “spouses,” perhaps one legal spouse and one whom he’s not legally married to, correct?
I have no problem with the recent Supreme Court ruling re: legalization of gay marriage. I believe the gay population in the US isn’t 5%, as previously posted, but actually between 7-15% and much, much higher in some cities. I’m not seeing the LGBT population out there overpopulating the planet with dozen(s) of children each and exploiting women and girls, as are the “ousted” polygamist sects who purport to adhere to the original LDS teachings. I personally don’t see what these “cults” practice (or even what “mainstream” LDS members practice) as a religion or a “church.”
That’s my own opinion based upon my lengthy personal experiences with LDS members, both in the workplace and with neighbors. No offense to any Piggs here.
