Homosexual Marriage: Gateway To Polygamy/Polyamory
Summary: Social commentator Stanley Kurtz believes that once homosexual marriage
is legalized, it will only be a matter of time before polygamy and group marriages
are legalized, too.
The push for the legalization of homosexual marriage is not only going to normalize
what has long been known to be sexual perversion and a disease-ridden lifestyle,
but it will open up the floodgates to an effort to legalize polygamy and polyamory
(group marriages).
Social commentator Stanley Kurtz, in "Beyond
Gay Marriage," (The Weekly Standard, August 4-11, 2003) argues
that "Among the likeliest effects of gay marriage is to take us down a slippery
slope to legalized polygamy and 'polyamory' (group marriage). Marriage will be
transformed into a variety of relationship contracts, linking two, three, or more
individuals (however weakly and temporarily) in every conceivable combination
of male and female. A scare scenario? Hardly. The bottom of this slope is visible
from where we stand. Advocacy of legalized polygamy is growing."
Kurtz concludes: "Marriage is a critical social institution. Stable families
depend on it. Society depends on stable families. Up to now, with all the changes
in marriage, the one thing we've been sure of is that marriage means monogamy.
Gay marriage will break that connection. It will do this by itself, and by leading
to polygamy and polyamory. What lies beyond gay marriage is no marriage at all."

threat homosexual marriage poses to families, children, and society:
In "The
End of Marriage in Scandinavia," Kurtz points out at the legalization
of homosexual marriage has already started weakening marriage altogether-leading
to a cultural meltdown.
Stanley Kurtz' article, "Can't
Afford To Lose," is also important reading. In it, he deals with the
moral anarchy taking place in San Francisco over same-sex marriage licenses being
issued illegally by Mayor Gavin Newsom.
The California
Supreme Court on March 11, 2004 ruled that Newsom's activities are illegal
and called a halt to his licensing of homosexual marriages. This was a big victory
for conservatives in that state. In Oregon, a Circuit Court of Appeals for the
state has granted a motion to stop the issuing of same-sex marriage licenses.
The court is responding to a lawsuit filed by the Defense of Marriage Coalition
and represented by the Alliance Defense Fund.
Public
opinion polls continue to show that a majority of Americans oppose the legalization
of homosexual marriages-but some indicate a willingness to accept "civil
unions" as a compromise position.
As
we show in our paper comparing homosexual marriage, civil unions, and domestic
partnerships, these are basically all the same thing. They give legal sanction
to homosexual behavior as equal to marriage under the law.
A CBS
TV poll taken on February 24-27, indicated that 62% of Americans oppose same-sex
marriage, an increase of 1% over December and a 7 point jump since July, 2003.
59% approve of a constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriage.
