Why Polygamy Is Inevitable If Same-Sex Marriage Becomes The Law Of The Land

Sometime after same-sex marriage becomes the law of the land, polygamy will inevitably follow. Why? Because there will be no one to oppose it. There will not be the organized opposition from conservative organizations, churches, civic groups, legislators and pundits rising up to lobby for constitutional amendments or legislative measures seeking to preserve the historic tradition of marriage, because there will be no historic tradition of marriage left to defend. And they will not be joining with gays to defend the gay definition of marriage for all the evident reasons, and also, because gays won't be doing this anyway as there is really no deep cultural or historical attachment to what will be a veritable domestic partnership that is marriage in name only.

After the polygamists, there will be others, perhaps persons of close parentage, perhaps polyamorists. And there will be no one to oppose them.
