I didn't know that Anna Duggar and her child molester husband had moved back to the DC area! Is that you, Anna?

NP. Now that’s a relationship I don’t want normalized for my children. Stay constantly pregnant by a pedophile? Nope.

We have gay friends in decades long relationships. Some now legally married. Some with kids. Their lives are pretty boring and not different from the straight couples I know.

This thread isn't about gay marriage or gay couples. This is about polygamy, in particular polygyny.

Except until exactly 4 years and 9 months ago gay marriage was just as illegal as polygynist marriage is right now. So who's to say its wrong and won't change in the future?

Also you don't know that this is a polygynist relationship. I haven't watched the episode but maybe the 2nd woman is in a relationship with both the woman AND the man. Which makes it polyamory.

I'm just curious....

If we accept gay people as being ok because they love who they love and all that.
And we accept transgendered people because they were born in the wrong body, etc...


Why cant we accept polyamory? Is it for me? Absolutely not. But if 3 or more people consent and care about each other what does it really matter?

Being gay or whatever gender isn't a choice. Polyamory is definitely a choice. I don't need to "accept" or normalize your choice of who/how many people you sleep with or swing with any more than you need to accept my bad poetry into your poetry journal. If you choose to be polyamorous, own it and stop looking for others to validate your choices or agree with you so that you can feel accepted by society for your choices. And I say this as the poster upthread who mentioned the disastrous love quadrangle that involved buying/selling a house together, as well as the introduction of babies born into this mess (who are coincidentally being raised as genderless) and then the faux divorce and dissolution of the quadrangle.

Doesn't change the fact that being gay or gender binary was illegal for much of the last century (as in you could be locked up for buggery) and only in the last five years was actually recognized as a valid legal act of marriage.

It's still illegal to be openly transgender in the military.

Polygamy is a different thing entirely than being gay or gay marriage. Polygamy has historically been used to exploit, coerce, and abuse woman and girls. If polygamy becomes legal here, the consequences will be similar to basically every culture where polygamy is considered socially and legally acceptable. It is bad for women.

Polygamy based on religious pre-cepts (see Mormonism and Islam) has been used to exploit, coerce, and abuse women and girls.

As far as I can tell this is a polyamorist throuple who have an equal and balanced relationship and its not just about the man having sex with two women since everyone is into everyone else.

A good example of this

Some polygamists sects of Mormon culture practice multiple wives but the wives never share the same bed. I don't judge this throuple couple btw. If one man can be married to multiple women, why can't one person be in a committed relationship with several people?

At what point does that end? If you want to be married to 10 people at once, why bother getting "married" at all? It would basically render your marriages meaningless. You are only 1/10th committed to your spouses and their kids and never fully committed to anyone. It's very self serving.

But you can't make plural marriage legal or socially acceptable and then tell religious people they can't have 4 wives. If we accept throuples and multiple marriages, we have to accept polygyny too, and the result will have negative consequences for many women.

Thinking you are born in the wrong body is a mental disorder, much like if I felt gluing feathers to myself makes me a bird, if I truly feel like a bird on the inside.

Where the acceptance limit? What of a grandparent/grandchild marriage? Who are we to say it’s wrong if they truly love each other? ... I mean, is this where we’re going?

[Anonymous]

Muslim-majority countries are fine with polygyny. I guess that’s going to soon be accepted here as our cultural landscape continues to alter.

Who are you to judge how other people live their lives and manage their relationships? They are not hurting anyone, so leave them alone!

Nobody is judging what people do in their own homes. I'm judging what's being streamed into my living room.

Lol. Nothing is being streamed into your living room that’s beyond the power of your control...

A marriage is about being committed to the partner and any kids that results equally.

If you have 6 kids and 1 partner, aren't you by nature committing less to each individual person than someone who has 1 partner and only 1 kid?

I mean that's your argument isn't it?

Can you answer the questions? You can’t so you default to personal insults based on your hurt feelings. Try to grow up and answer the questions.
