[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there is no legitimately negative impact on the state in gay marriage.  With polygamy, there is.

Explain.

I can't help laughing at people who celebrate gay marriage but condemn polygamists. Really?[/quote]

Not condemning.  If they all want to live together as consenting adults, have at it.  
But when you want legal recognition as a spouse, that means something in terms of inheritance, next of kin, probate, etc. etc.  Polygamy creates an impossible morass, legally, that taxpayers shouldn't have to fund.

Maybe if they file a prenup, sort of like articles of incorporation, prior to the marriage, that spells out all the typical legal problems and how they will be addressed.  That could solve the challenge for the state.  [/quote]

Agree, and you can easily impose special taxes or fees on these unions to cover the anticipated court costs...[/quote]

From what I understand, SCOTUS didn't take societal costs into account when they decided on the gay marriage. Why should it be different for polygamists?

I simply don't buy the "morass" argument. [b]Plenty of morass is created by serial monogamy[/b], and no one bats an eye. Equality is a bitch, so you can't tax polygamists into oblivion either :lol: [/quote]

ITA. Just in my own family...any marriage could result in a mess. [/quote]
