Well, that would certainly bring the Mormon community publicity it would rather not have. Those still opposed to gay union seem to think polygamy is one of the biggest bazookas they've got in their arsenal. I think gays sense what's going on and would rather the issue just went away.
They may THINK it's a big bazooka in their arsenal, but the fact of the matter is, if you look at marriage as a technical, rather than a religious, thing, then the number of partners in that marriage isn't really an issue. Their bazooka is lacking ammo.

There's far more afoot than technicals here. As folks associated with polygamist communities both north and south of the border would quickly state: it's a social quagmire with most of the costs of social and family services borne by the region's taxpayers. It takes a mighty income to support ten wives and 30 children. Most polygamists don't have it.

Most marriages in Canada and the US have two working spouses... why would polygamists be any different, unless for religious reasons? I know if hubby were to take a second wife, it would free me up for a job. Handy if you ask me! Extra income, extra help around the house. Makes loads of sense.
What if second wife goes for the job and you get to stay home with all the kids?
I could see the potential for problems when wife A starts to think wife B is getting special attention.
Whatever works for the people involved. I'd stay at home if wifey B wants to get a job.
And fights over special attention happen in every family, regardless of the precise circumstances.
First of all I was not eager to argue with anyone , I was just sitting there reading a book when this guy came up to me . Secondly I doubt her was a Man of the cloth , it's been my experience that priests are for the most part refined and eloquent this man was neither a lot more like ray comfort than Desmond Tuto . Also I don't like talking philosophy with people who have no conception of basic rationality which is why I didn't other argue with the security guard also he had a taser
no kidding. the last thing you want is your partner's sex drive to match your own... right? lol.
