Uhh there are no laws in place to not allow people to have intimate relationships with multiple people at the same time. There are laws about legally marrying more than one person at a time.
And, finally, for the last 30 years or so, there have been no laws preventing people from having sex with others of their own gender, from having relationships with them, even from loving them or living with them. So why do they want to get married?
My middle son, who is a very devout Catholic and considered the priesthood prayerfully until he slowly came to the decision that he had a true and deep calling to be a Daddy and therefore could not be a Father, feels that laws telling who can marry who are inherently very wrong.
In his words, marriage is a religious institution. Marriage is an agreement between humans, their God and their church. For Atheists, their God may be no God, but, as he said, that is their decision. Who to have officiate your wedding and where to hold it and rather to register it with a church are all personal decisions.
The government has no business doing anything but licensing civil unions - for anyone, strait, gay, poly, mono, whatever their religion, color or creed.
In the past 10 or 15 years, many, many strait, vanilla, monogamous UU members have married in their church and refused to marry civilly, as a protest to the fact that gays can not marry.
is there any better reason that polys can't marry?
