Pro-polygamy group blasts NH for embedding " bigotry into state law" Well that didn't take long! After New Hampshire passed gay marriage law, polygamists want the same - say NH plan "embeds bigotry into state law" That sure sounds familiar, no? You know - I firmly recall the cries from gay activists and their ilk when Massechusetts enshrined gay marriage by judicial fiat a few years ago, and conservatives made slipper slope arguments that once get marriage is enshrined, every deviancy known to man will follow. Well - here it comes, using the same exact arguments used by gay activists. I can see the polygamists case too. If marriage isn't between one man and one woman, then open it for everyone and everything. Man marries 5 women, or visa versa, NAMBLA marries youg boys, PETA marries animals, etc. From WND: Next frontier? Polygamists demand multi-sex marriage. A polygamy advocacy organization says the New Hampshire law that is intended to assure "equal access to marriage" for all instead specifically embeds in state statutes bigotry against polygamists. According to a statement posted on the Pro-Polygamy website, when on Wednesday New Hampshire "became the sixth U.S. State to codify the legal construction of same sex marriage," it was hailed by homosexuals as a "civil rights victory." "Declaring that the new law advances fairness and equality for all, they proclaimed that New Hampshire had supposedly 'ended discrimination' for everyone," the statement said. "But the law did no such thing. Rather, it intentionally 'discriminates' against consenting adult polygamists – indeed, on purpose," the organization said. The fact that polygamists, and indeed those with other sexual proclivities, would use the same "civil rights" and "equality" arguments forwarded by homosexuals seeking "marriage" rights has been predicted for years. The polygamy activists said the new law now affirms the "right" of two individuals to marry. "However, the new law then took the matter further, with intentional 'discrimination.' The new [law] now ends with a newly added anti-polygamy provision," the group said, citing the new statement: "No person shall be allowed to be married to more than one person at any given time." That slope is a slippery one indeed, no? theblogprof.blogspot.com Freely-consenting, adult, non-abusive, marriage-committed POLYGAMY is the next civil rights battle. pro-polygamy.com First of three posts on what people are doing to marriage.
