Just wanted to note that Dionysus specifically expressed personal feelings against polygamy but did not suggest that it should be right to legally condemn it. I have the same feelings. Even if I think something is wrong for me and my morals, I would probably still approve of it for others. For example, I am pro-choice but I am anti-abortion. I will always defend a person's right to make a personal decision but I certainly will not condone the action by committing it myself. I have had two opportunities to have an abortion but chose not to, because I was irresponsible, not the children. I, personally, do not ACCEPT homosexuality morally, but I will fight against those who try to deny homosexuals their freedom to choose their own partners!!

So what if it was a personal feeling? Mine are too and have been even before "gay marriage" was the hot topic of legal discussion. Polygamy is a topic of legal consideration as well because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be illegal. So basically because her feelings about this lifestyle coincide with the general consensus of America (its disgusting) and its laws, then her feeling are somehow legitimized? Whatever! That lifestyle deserves the same fevor that some people are giving the gay marriage issue (for those that are in favor of gay marriages).
It is not too far fetch to think that this type of marriage will be included in any legislation that is made either for or against gay marriages.
So again, why the double standard?
