Three Way Calling: Polygamy IS Different than Gay Marriage

OH, the Conservatives! How I love them...really. No one group better exemplifies the notion of How to make a Brokeback Mountain out of a Molehill. One of their many arguements against Gay Marriage was that it would open the door to all types of unions. Soon the sicko's wouldn't want to just marry someone of the same sex. NO, they would rush out and try to secure their unions with whatever strange and ridiculous entities that tickled their fancies. Pets-Married! Barnyard Animals-married! Republicans- Well, even operatorLA isn't that depraved! And now they are worried that allowing gay marriage would mean that we would have to allow open, polygamous or polyamorous marriages. And isn't it convenient that their rants just happen to coincide with HBO's new show BIG LOVE. It's as if these people can't think of a new argument until somoene creates a television show about it. Watch out Competition Ballroom Dancers, you could be next.
However, SLATEmagazine sets us "straight" on why gay marriage could work and polygamy just never will.
