It is a good question, under the LGBTQ spectrum of "equal rights".

The final question seems rhetorical? IMO Obama already thinks he is god.—and that he American people -and Congress have
replaced God with Obama—Faith with his hope and change.

Bisexual IS homosexual. Andrew Dice Clay had this subject right. This is purely semantics. They’ll pave the way for polygamy in the name of love and tolerance.

I still think this open declaration on Obama’s part may have set him back in the culture wars, and may cost him the election.

If homos can get married, I don’t see how they can justify making polygamy illegal.

It means that he’s got an open marriage?

Thanks scottjewell.

I guess under Obama the Bis will be able to marry both a male and female, three or more in each marriage ceremony

They can’t. Basic logic and facts are hard to refute. This is why Canada already has a movement to legalize polygamous marriage. I expect things to follow suit here.

“Among the places our president said he wanted “equality not just for some, but for all” — that is, presumably, including “bisexuals” — is in the institution of marriage.”

One has to assume, he also includes polygamists, pedophiles and lovers of beasts who all believe in the same ideasls as this president.,

...Defense of Marriage Act,” Obama said. “And as we wait for that law to be cast aside, we’ve stopped defending its constitutionality in the courts.”

Has any other president in out history so refused to uphold the law? How can he refuse to do his duty this way?

From the Constitution: “...he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed...”

With a Supreme Court like ours, it is inevitable.

The waters are being tested by things like “Sister Wives.”

One of the NatGeo ‘Taboo’ shows had a “polyamorous” group featured recently.

Every time I’ve asked another female if she’d marry a guy who openly said, “I’m bi-sexual,” that female has said no.

Yes, shows like “Big Love” were also an attempt to test the waters.

I do not think it is only Obama who is not upholding the law; I think this is the general and inevitable point the Liberals have reached in the 21st century ( “changing times and laws”).

Polygamy will be legalized in this country when some bi-sexual sues for the right to marry his boyfriend and his girlfriend. There is no longer any legal basis to stop them.

Right you are: Once you change a basic legal definition, the door has been opened for future alterations. History shows this slippery slope in cultural, political, and labor arenas as well.

This does present an interesting inconsistency. One man with 2 heterosexual women, is illegal polygamy. One man with 2 bisexual women, is acceptable!? Or does the guy have to be bi too?

Yes, and it could also be one bisexual man, married to a heterosexual wife, seeing a gay man on the side, who is married to another gay man. The waters become muddied, and yet the gay movement goes under the “LGBTQ” umbrella hence the door is opened for a myriad of possible equal rights lawsuits and amendments.

I always thought the gay movement embracing the LGBTQ rainbow might be their own undoing in the end:
__________________________________

From Bisexual Rights website:(Bisexuality TaskForce)

“Bisexual people share an inclusive vision of human rights and social justice more than a narrowly defined “gay identity politics” could hope to achieve. The struggle to establish civil rights protections for bisexual people cannot be separated from the struggle to win freedom and equality for LGBT people.

As those who embrace the radical notion of being able to love one another irrespective of gender, bisexual people challenge and question fundamental assumptions regarding sexuality, gender and relationships. Learn more about bisexual-related issues at BiNetUSA.

As more LGBT people work in coalition, the Task Force is further empowered to confront society’s homophobia, sexism, racism, biphobia and gender discrimination that confront us all.

A real-life example of this work was our response to a controversial 2005 New York Times article titled, Straight, Gay or Lying? We responded to that with a piece that addressed specific problems in the article and with a fact sheet called Bisexuality, Dispelling the Myths.
What We’re Doing:

The Task Force often works in coalition with bisexual rights advocates and connects the community to an array of bisexual-related resources.
Our Policy Institute has published studies addressing issues specifically related to the bisexual community.”
