There are a multitude of people jumping on the “legalize gay marriage” band
wagon these days. And many it seems are merely caught up in the gay
activists’ frenzy of emotion which comes with phrases such as “denying
rights” and “Gay haters”. Now before anyone grabs they’re torch and
pitchfork and starts calling me all types of terrible names (seems this is
standard procedure for anyone who says anything appearing to be anti-gay) I
do not hate gays nor am I homophobic or anything else. I have had gay
friends and now work with gay people with absolutely no problems. So please
put those sharp things away.
This rant is to put into context where legalized gay marriage may very well
take us. It seems many people just want to say “make it so” and that will
be that, no problems or consequences, simply problem solved. This is of
course what I would consider flying blind and being a skeptical person the
fact that gay activist seem to want little or no practical debating on the
subject gives me the desire to do just that. If there are no negative
consequences from these actions gay activists should welcome debate. But
instead of productive debating they immediately start throwing the words
“gay hater” and “homophobic” around when anyone wants to debate the
subject. And this for the most part works as no one wants to appear as
being prejudice.
Just for kicks and giggles though and also because we generally don’t build
a building without looking ahead at the blueprint. Nor do we go racing
hundreds of miles down a road without looking at a map. I would like to
look ahead at what may be in store for us ten; twenty and even thirty years
down the road after gay marriages have been legalized.
There is absolutely no doubt that Polygamy or the marriage of multiple spouses is following directly in the footsteps of gay rights activists. One only needs to go to http://www.pro-polygamy.com/ where you will be greeted with the large print message “Polygamy Is the Next Civil Rights Battle” nothing is clearer. To get a glimpse of what is likely following in the shadows of Polygamists you may wish to read the article from The New York Daily Times at this site: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2007/06/21/2007-06-21_courtin_trouble.html (these links will also be embedded at the side of this post). This article documents numerous cases of recent couples of incest challenging the laws dealing with incest. There is little doubt however that once gay marriage becomes law the Pro-polygamists will have the footing they need to challenge and defeat the standing laws against Polygamy. And rightfully so, how can a man who is married to another man tell the person who wants two
spouses that they’re idea of a loving marriage is wrong? Who is the
straight couple to tell the gay couple that they’re idea of a loving
marriage is wrong? As long as they are adults and consent why should it matter if it is a gay couple or if it is more than one spouse right? So ultimately after gay marriage is a fact we know someone will take the polygamy law to court because it is they’re right as well to define for themselves what a loving marriage is. Just as the out of date homosexual laws were stricken down so will the polygamy laws be stricken down. And really what is it going to
hurt anyway?
I do have a point though and plan to come to a conclusion with this but I have just one more question. After gay marriage is legalized polygamists will challenge and win they’re right to have multiple spouses. So at some point in the future we will see situations such as this. Five gay men marry each other legally. They want to” legally” adopt many young boys and begin as soon as possible to do so. As these young boys come into the home the five men feed them, clothe them and bathe them. As parents they have every legal right to bathe them and to in fact get in the tub and shower with them and wash they’re body, which all five men do. They also sleep with the boys as do many parents. Being a
“family” they like making home movies. Mostly they like making home movies
of themselves and they’re young “sons” in the bath with them washing
they’re bodies. They also like to invite other gay male friends over to
watch these legal family videos. The young boys may call these friends “Uncles” and the “uncles” also enjoy bathing and sleeping with these young boys. In fact they will have the legal right to put a family website up and show these “family” videos. Donations to maintain the website may or may not be taken. Since there are five of them and they’re financial base will be large. My question is how many young boys do you say they will be legally able to adopt at a time? My guess is
at least twenty or thirty.
