First Gay Marriage, Then Polygamy….
written by Sphagnum
I’m back home and back to blogging, and Seth and others are doing such a great job keeping this site going I wasn’t going to add my hat to the rack, but I just had to throw this article into the mix. Homosexuality always get the comments flying here at SayAnything, so here we go…
The newspaper article in in Dutch, and the translator doesn’t do it justice, so here is a blogger:
The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose “civil unions” that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name.
Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalised in all but name. Last Friday the first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.
So, for those who said gay marriage doesn’t provide some sort of slippery slope that will lead to other things, what do you say now?
If you think we can honestly alter the definition of marriage to include any two persons and keep it from changing any further, I do believe you are mistaken. Polygamy is a much more natural perversion of marriage and one that, I dare say, is more acceptable worldwide. Of course, altering th definition of marriage opens the Pandora’s box of including at least legalizing incestuous marriage as well (“Who are you to say who I can’t love?! Even if it’s my sister…”) What’s next?
