As frustrating and sad as this may be, you have to respect that. <br /><br />What would your best defense against polygamy be? (I'm assuming you don't believe in it.) I'm also guessing that you would say something along the lines of "Because marriage is for 2 people only". Is that a very good reason? No. But is it still your ethical opinion? Yes. So then the question would be whether you swallow up your beliefs and choose to allow people to follow theirs, or you choose to oppose this entirely. <br /><br />This dilemma is very similar to the gay marriage controversy. You would be against polygamy because it is wrong, but to you, that would an entirely different story than gay marraige. Everyone should have rights, but polygamy is wrong to you, so it shouldn't be allowed.<br /><br />Sorry, sorry. Of course, these could not be your beliefs at all (or they very well could), but hopefully it is a step in the right direction in putting yourselves in others' shoes.<br /><br />By the way, I am 100% pro gay-marriage. I hope that it will someday become accepted, and that everyone can be truly equal. But, you never know. Humans tend to act unpredictably.<br /><br />Just some food for thought!<br /><br />- H.
