Its an old debate, but then so are many others. Polygomous marriage should be supported. Why not? As long as its btwn consenting adults.The status quo is established by the rulers, not by the ruled. So that arguement does not lend any credance to the claim of over a billion people espousing ur oppinion.

Had I used the word multitude, are you suggesting your arguments would evaporate? Or are you taking liberties with an already imprecise figure, LOL?

The point is, it’s not supported, and I don’t see anyone clamouring for the UN to push such an agenda, wrt polygamous marriages. A bit forced, when it’s said to make a point.

I think homosexuality is a complex phenomena not to be compared with skin colour or hair…but it boils down to human sexuality, and therefore sex. My primary point, lost in this rather silly number game playing, was that this is viewed as nothing more than fornication. The retort that the government should keep out of the business of people’s sex lives is not a universally held one. This leads us down the slippery slope of denying (a universally held) right of a people to govern themselves for the sake of justifying peoples choice in sexual partners.
