What that means is the two consenting adults argument for homos is nothing but one of special treatment.
For the record, I don't support incestuous marriages or polygamy but those using the consenting adults argument should if that is their true stance. According to the scenario in your post, if both are consenting, why would the same sex marriage supporters oppose it?
Because of poly-phobia lol?
You’re right: once the door was opened to give gays *more rights* than polygamists—any argument against polygamy went out the window.
And it’s just a matter of time before it comes up. Surprised it hasn’t already.
