At allafrica.com, Paul Y. Harry shares with Liberians “Ten Reasons Why Polygamy Is a Great Thing.” As stated, it is actually about polygyny (one male, multiple females). It is a heterosexist and gender-sexist piece; whether tongue-in-cheek or not, I don’t know. The truth that the opinion actually contains is applicable to all, not just heterosexual men. Some women like having multiple partners, too, and some men do not want polygamy with women, but other men, just as some women don’t want polygamy with men, but other women.
The polygamous freedom to marry is a great thing; full marriage equality is even better, but that is only possible with gender equality and by not discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
