The problem I have with polygamy is that I find it extremely doubtful that one person can love multiple spouses equally. I mean, really love them. The concept kind of goes against the whole idea of true love. Ya know, your ONE true love. Granted, love isn't a prerequisite for marriage. It should be. I don't find gay marriage nearly as much of an "attack on the sacred, God-ordained union of marriage" (actual words from some bullshit flier we got in the mail) as the shallow snobs and white trash Vegas couples who marry for money, excitement, or what have you, and undoubtedly get divorced or have entirely unhappy marriages. I think polygamists marrying would be equally mocking.
Of course, I can't say conclusively that a person can't love multiple people equally and strongly enough that they would want to marry them. In all fairness, if gays were given the right to marry, polygamists would have to be given the right to marry as well. But I don't see either of those groups having any major breakthroughs in the near future, especially under the Bush administration, so I guess it's okay for now.

I know it sounds odd that I'm so avidly against polygamists even though I'm such a staunch supporter of other things. I just hate the bastards. I mean, do you really think polygamists would marry for love?
