NAYRT

I had to read this one essay for class, I think it was about gay marriage legalization and why it would be a "Bad Thing". One of the justifications they used was if they let gay people express their sexuality and marry, then they'd bi people express their sexuality by marrying two people. And, as we all know, polygamy is a "Worse Thing".

I threw the textbook across the room.

...And then I realized I had read the wrong essay for homework. :/

Ugh I remember those. These arguments are the reason that "Slippery slope argument" is now only seen as "slippery slope fallacy"

I remember reading an argument paper JUST like that where someone was angry that people dared to compare the fight for gay marriage rights to the civil rights movement. (Kinda reminding me of the people who claim that acknowledged that men do get raped and abused is an insult...somehow..to the "real" woman victims.) I saw the person saying things like "if we pass this then we'll have to allow people to marry multiple spouses or adults to marry children" I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry , I just went with a good ol' facepalm.

gay marriage involves two-count 'em TWO- CONSENTING ADULTS- getting married. So saying that its acceptance will mean that people can marry anything is uh...stupid.

also- I'm a religious person ...and I believe that if your religion says "don't do this" it means YOU don't do that not "make sure no one does". If a person who couldn't eat pork (no offense to those who can't not saying you'd act like this) came up to me when I was getting some pork ribs and started shrieking that I was a disgusting sinner who is going to hell I'd be like "...uh different religion pal, shoo"

I can't really add much, but plus all the things to your comment, especially the last paragraph.

I can't help wonder if we had the same book. was it a St. Martin's textbook?

I don't have it anymore, it was a couple years ago that I took that class, but after googling it I'm pretty sure it was.

I'm afraid Polygamous marriages will not see legal recognition for a long, long time.

If for no other reason then it's a legal nightmare.

This isn't a "slippery slope" this is cynical prediction: Imagine if you will, five parents all divorcing and arguing over who gets their adopted child and the cars.

It's visions of that that will make that fight much, much harder.

The implication that polygamy is bad isn't why I resorted to book throwing. It was the "Bisexuals like men and women, so they can't be in a monogamous relationship ever" that pissed me off.

Agree. Being bisexual does not mean that I need a man and a woman at the same time in order to be happy. It means that I can have either a man OR a woman and be happy. People in general seem to not understand this.
