I really don't care what ADULTS do with other consenting adults. Not in the least little bit.

+1, it's not hurting me. I wouldn't do it but, again, no harm done to me or my family.

My first thought about polygamy being allowed is always about taxes.

Agreed. Don't care.

But yeah, this is different than same-sex marriage.

I learned the word Utahn.

I've never seen Sister Wives but I did watch some of Big Love.

It does bother me a bit that he is using the ruling as a platform for his interests. You aren't born polygamist. That is a choice. Sometimes choices are outside of acceptable social norms and there maybe blowback.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it's a great point that homosexuality is not a choice whereas polygamy is.

I think the other thing is polygamy changes marriage. Gay marriage just changed the words man and wife to spouse. Polygamy changes the entire structure of marriage.

I think that's where I stand. It doesn't affect me, but I still don't feel good about polygamy. I think you hit the nail on the head about it changing the structure of marriage being between two people.

Was it on our board over on TD that we had a poster who practiced polyamory?

It also effects me and my family not one bit. I think there are a lot of logistics that need to be worked out (taxes, as previously mentioned, for one) before anything is passed.
