Will gay rights = rights for polygamy?

[OCTOBER-2009]

Obama recently said he will end "don't ask-don't tell". Gay rights activists are gaining momentum in their quest for so called "equal rights".

My question is: Will this lead to Polygamy is the USA? Why would it not? Polygamy has been around since the beginning of time. Islam allows men to have up to 4 wives & polygamy is common in Islamic societies. Gay rights have been around for about what, 20 years!

A man from an Islamic country legally immigrates to the USA with his children and 3 wives. How can the American government deny this union? And will his employer have to pay health benefits for all the wives & children just as the employer will have to pay benefits for the gay spouse.

This question I would like to ask Obama! (be careful what you wish for)

Oh man - ;egal polygamy? sounds like a dream cum true!

For the mormon crowd, maybe....

[chicmagnet]

Islam seems hell bent on world domination so if this is a possibility then it will prolly happen. But I myself see a huge gape between gay rights and polygamy.

Most guys cant handle 1 wife, can you imagine 3?
It may work in other countries because women are MUCH more passive/submissive

It doesn't work with most American women. To them being equal means they are in 100% control of everything and if anything ever goes wrong they will try to destroy your life forever. No such thing as what is fair.

It does not work in the US with current standards.

so gay rights have been around for, what, 20 years, aye?
you, sir, are retarded.

OCTOBER-2009 , I think you need to worry more about education than gay rights.

[Nooomoto]

More than 1 wife? **** that...I mean, you guys have met women before, right?

Exactly... Shit wait until you mofo'ers get older and your sex drive dies down.

F more than one wife!

Will gay rights = Men being allowed to **** around on thier wifes easier?

[OCTOBER-2009]

Hey Darksyde,

My point was your grandparents never would have dreamed gay rights would even be an issue we would discuss. I.E. it is a new phenomena historically speaking.

I only posed a question, so chill out on the personal attacks! Discuss my friend, not attack!

[BgMc31]

I don't even see how this is an argument open for discussion. Marriage can be defined as a legal contract between TWO consenting ADULTS. All this worry about pedophiles, animals, and polygamists is simply conservative rhetoric to scare the masses.

Fear = the best political motivator!!!

So true.

Fear = false motivation

Did anyone watch that South Park episode where the people from the future all came back.... to stop it all the men started having sex with each other?

Blaming gays is just gay!

No one is trying to scare you. It is just a simple question. If a man from a Middle Eastern country, who happens to be Islamic, immigrates here and he has 3 or 4 wives, should those marriages be recognized?

[Flagg]

Fortunately most women in the West don't live in 3rd world shitholes that have oppresive regimes towards women, so I don't think we have to worry there cause most women in the West are not about to start sharing their husbands with another wife. And those that do tend to live in something called an "open relationship".

Funny how this went from Gays (OMG GAYS! NOOOOOOO) to Islam (OMG ISLAM! NOOOOOO) taking over the world. Whats the betting that October and Chicmagnet are both Christians?

If the mofo supports all them bitches, then hell yes...

For that matter if a man from Mexico, EU, Africa, moves here with all his bitches let the mofo be.

Most states sodomy is illegal... Does that mean you want cops breaken' down your door while you get head?

Im sorry, I didn't know gays immigrated from the land of Gay solely to get a civil union in the States.

This is probably the single best post in this thread..... LMAO!

Men get f*cked bad enough after a divorce form 1 woman..... imagine 3 or 4 women divorcing you at the same time? You'd need 3 jobs and a small drug cartel to support that.....

[CHUCKYthentic]

ya women just dont have the rights and respect as they do in islamic countries, therefore men can neglect em and treat em like crap

wouldnt happen much here in the states

maybe im missing something here and someone can enlighten me, but what hell kind of tie can you make between gay rights and polygamy?

doesnt make sense, stupid idea IMO, sorry OP not tryin to be a dick

P.S. im all for gay rights and gay marriage everybody, dont get me wrong

[Nicotine]

yah....it will enable polygamy.

because we all know, same sex marriage/relationships/unions, will cause straight relationships to fail.

because we all know, buttsex will destroy the sanctity of marriage between straight couples.

[Nicotine]

Might as well legalize beastiality.

yah, because 2 adults of the same sex living in a loving consentual relationship, seeking the same basic fundamental rights - has everything to do with sex with animals.

are you by chance retarded?

or just republican?

and while we're at it.

why dont we legalize child molestation!

more delinquency to be legalized, because gays want their relationships recognized.

then, all the middle class white males who disproportionately molest their daughters, will have equal rights and protection under the law.

I think he meant if you legalize polygamy you may as well legalize beastiality..... not anything against gay marriage.....

think it just came out wrong.....

very true.. We are running with concepts and pretending like that are anything like each other..

now I see the point of the OP. but I think the equal rights for gay people is only far in the concept as two people in love should be allowed to marry since we give marriage certs to people that should never ever have them just because its a man and woman.... but to compare it to polygamists is a whole new arguement that will not be in the same scope of gay rights as far as marraige

That hit it right on the head, this polygamy argument against Gay rights is pure rhetoric. These are two seperate issues. The problem with some people is that they veiw the world as black and white, your either with us or against us, those are reasoning fallicies. the truth is there is a grey area in life.We can believe in gay rights while at the same time oppose polygamy because neither of them coorelate to one another.

The truth is having gay couples married will not in anyway ruin the sanctuty of marriage. The real issue is all the bible fanatics think they hold some inherented right to the word "marriage". They use the bible as a defense, they say it proves that being homosexual is a crime agains God. But even if thats the case, we live in a country that has SEPERATION between church and state. Of course our country was founded on juduo-christian beliefs, but that doesnt mean that we can oppress a group of people because scripture from those religions.The beliefs from those religions this country was founded on were more broad things like thou shall not murder.That belief is universal, oppressing a gay man is not. 200 hundred years ago people were looking to the bible to defend slavery.."you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you" (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) so if your a black person against gay rights that uses the bible as a defense, YOUR A HYPOCRITE. The bible also supports the womens submission to men, so the bible cant hold any ground in the politcal argument.


i could go on further but I feel ive rambled enough.My last thought is people have to stop oppressing people becasue they are different from you. ( also comparing homosexuality to beastiality is very ignorant, so just stop)

BINGO, BINGO, BINGO!!! And this topic continues to be a huge point of contention in the black community. As a matter of fact, you can almost blame the failure of a gay marriage proposal in California on the black vote. I wish people would wake up!!!!

It's nice to know the bible was right about something. It couldn't be wrong about all of them.

I also never understood what the gay rights and polygamy had to do with one another. Makes no sense.

this had nothing to do with women being OPPRESSED due to living in 3rd world countries but because women in the west dont want to share the spoils of divorce. They want 110% of anything a man have ever made and ever will make and dont want to give any part of it up.
