Holland Discusses 'Group Marriage' as Next Step

The politician who masterminded the gay marriage campaign in Holland says that “group marriage” is now being discussed in the country.

Boris Dittrich, a former Dutch politician, gave a video interview about how he successfully introduced gay marriage. He said, “There is now a discussion in the Netherlands that sometimes people want to marry with three people and maybe even more.

“But that’s the beginning of something completely new and that will take a lot of years I guess.”

Dittrich was speaking to a French gay news agency, and he revealed that he softened public opinion to gay marriage by first introducing registered partnerships.

He said, “We thought it might be psychologically better to first introduce registered partnerships."

It was a good decision, he said, because people got used to legally recognized gay unions and called them gay marriages.

The next logical step was to introduce full gay marriage by law, he said. Now he admits there are discussions about marriage for more than two people.

Three-way relationships have already been recognized in Holland, under a “cohabitation agreement."

In Brazil, a relationship of more than two people has been officially recognized.

In Canada, schools have been encouraged to display posters which promote the acceptance of polygamy.

In Australia, a campaign group has formed to push for legal rights for ‘polyamorous’ relationships.

In Britain, the government is planning to redefine marriage and critics warn it will cause marriage to unravel.

Once we no longer define marriage as one woman to one man,we “marry” our kids and avoid inheritance taxes.

THEN the DNC will work day and night to redefine marriage as one man one woman.

Western civilization. Returning to its pagan primal roots.

Because it was so fun back then.

This has everything to do with “radical” islam, not only with other perversions mentioned already.

Appeasement. Theo Van Gogh is spinning in his grave. Enable immorality, and you kill all chances for a moral republic built on democracy.

Don't forget: Bradley Manning the traitor responsible for the largest security breach in US military history is gay...A gay man who leaked all that intel because he was in a snit about taking orders.

And how did the Obama cabal immediately respond? By overturning DADT because as we have seen in the past, if it hurts the USA, liberals want more of it.

Rick Santorum was right about this.

And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you — this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.

No surprise there. And why shouldn't someone be able to marry a much loved pet?

And they didn’t even use those old foul sounding words like bigamy or polygamy. Group marriage covers all combinations.

I’d liked to sign up for a group marriage with the heirs to the Heineken family fortune... and a free pass to the brewery tasting rooms.

Gay marriage opens the door to everything... polygamy, paedophila, the whole works. Western civilization continues its rapid decay into oblivion. Once America fully crosses that mark, the country won’t even be worth saving.

Uh, my only question is what will be the limit on the number of goats someone can marry at the same time?

Of course the sad thing is pretty soon people will watch this and think, “I don’t get it, what’s so funny about this.”
