When I said gay marriage opened the door to polygamy, I was laughed at.
Now a national legal analyst agrees with me.
Wow, I feel better.

I have said the same thing. Dont feel any better about it that someone with face time agrees. If gay marriage is ok then whats wrong with more than one wife, or husband, or any mix thereof?

When I said gay marriage opened the door to polygamy...

You are absolutely right. All the issues of "gay rights", abortion, etc. lead to exactly what we're seeing today. Soon, everything will be okay, as it's becoming. Child sex will be no big deal (well, it will to us of course) among other things including bestiality. Right is wrong, wrong is right, can there be any clearer signs?

Remember polygamy was practiced and condoned by many cultures of the past, while sodomy was not that popular. Thus if the least popular sexual practice is condoned in the US, then Americans have a weaker ground to oppose polygamy. INMHO polygamy may be the only way blue collar Americans can maintain their standard of living given competition from globalism and job outsourcing. If a man has a personal income of $60,000 with ovetime and six wives who each make $ 35,000 annually, we are talking about serious income. Think of the exemptions if each wife has two kids, and each one can take turns taking one day of the work week to watch the kids while the other wives work. They can easily afford a MacMansion and have plenty of living space for themselves and children.

Certainly not by me.

The logic that a marriage benefits from having at least one man and one woman for procreation is inescapable. If gay marriages are tolerated, adding one member of the opposite sex makes possible procreation within the marriage.

One might question whether a child benefits from having "two Mommies", but is there really a question that a child who has two Mommies would benefit from also have a Daddy? Is there something about the second Mommy that precludes needing a Daddy? I don't see how.

And once we have two Mommies and a Daddy, why not add a second Daddy? Or two or three. And some more Mommies.

We could save a lot of hassle just by having a giant marriage ceremony in which every inhabitant of San Francisco can become married to every other inhabitant. Then they will all be one big happy family.

“When I said gay marriage opened the door to polygamy, I was laughed at.”

The purpose of marriage to make people responsible for the care of children. That’s why in every culture in history that has managed to survive for a while, marriage has been assumed to be between members of the opposite sex. Many if not most of these have permitted a man to have several wives.

This makes the notion of gay marriage silly if not a contradiction in terms. The legalization of gay marriage is being pushed by far leftists for the same reason that they discourage traditional marriage. They loathe western civilization and want it to die off. But by what logic did “gay marriage open the door to polygamy”?

Now I’m haven’t practiced polygamy,(except maybe in my fantasies), but I’m all for higher birth rates in the western world. So why not legalize polygamy ?
