    It's not better or worse, it just is.

    Well no, it's actually NOT.

    The fact that Mormons once practiced NON-traditional marriage, and then changed to conform to TRADITIONAL marriage, doesn't mean that traditional marriage changed.

    Where are you getting that polygamy is non-traditional? It was the norm for thousands of years.

    They call it Polygamy because its different from Monogamy. I dont see your point.

    "poly" meaning more than one. "mono" meaning one.

    And even if you are correct... it changed! You see traditions change.

    Right, but you don't call "monogamous relationships" that, because they are traditional.

    Polygamy is NOT traditional. We call it Polygamy because it distinguishes it from traditional.
    You did this yourself, I didn't help you a bit.

    I call monogamous relationships that when I am defenerating between them. I cally Polygamous relationships when I am defenerating between them.

    Even if what you are saying were true, if it were your "tradition" it is no reason to try to force that "tradition" onto others, or to legally prevent them from establishing there own "tradition"!

    Jewish people get married under a hupa, I dont see them trying to make it the law that you are not legally married if you dont get married under a hupa.

    Yes, but in normal parlance, when you argue for 'gay' marriage as opposed to 'traditional' marriage, you don't call it 'monogamous' marriage. It is presumed 'monogamous' because that is part of what defines traditional. On the other hand, 'polygamy' is used exclusively to differentiate between itself and 'traditional' or 'monogamous' relationships. In other words, it is called "polygamy" for a reason, it is not traditional, or part of traditional marriage. Even YOU prove this yourself! With no help from me at all, just your own words and terminology in everyday conversation.

    Even if what you are saying were true, if it were your "tradition" it is no reason to try to force that "tradition" onto others, or to legally prevent them from establishing there own "tradition"!
    Well see here's the thing, it's not just MY tradition. It is THE tradition. You want to change THE tradition, to include YOUR tradition, and I get that, really, I do! But yes, I can indeed legally prevent you from usurping THE tradition and making it YOUR tradition. I can legally prevent you from usurping ANY tradition that is rooted in the Constitution and is an inalienable right. I can even amend the Constitution to protect THE tradition, if I see fit. So don't tell me what I can and can't do.

    What you and the rest of you Pro-Gay-Rights clowns need to understand, first and foremost, is that Americans are largely opposed to changing tradition. Much of that is rooted in their core religious beliefs, and the teaching of these religious beliefs for generations. It is ingrained into our values as a society in a way that you can not overcome with these vitriolic strong-arm goon tactics, like you are fighting civil rights in the 60s. It won't work on this! It has FAIL written all over it, because you underestimate the general public sentiment on this issue. The very people you need support from, are those you wish to attack, condemn, and criticize as bigots and homophobes, and you just don't seem to get that.

    Jewish people get married under a hupa, I dont see them trying to make it the law that you are not legally married if you dont get married under a hupa.
    Do Jewish people allow same-sex marriage?

    The fundamentals, always between a man and a woman, have remained the same.

    Its biology, not religious tradition. Marriage is between a man and a woman for the same reason all the birds around here pair off into couples made up of a male and female to build heir nests each year. BIOLOGY. not religion. Thats why EVERY religion around the world dictates marriage between a man and a woman. Not because of religion but instead the biological requirements of procreation.
