Polygamy should definitely be legal (heck, even the Christians should be able to get behind legalizing it... it's approved of in their book!). Bigamy is just illegal polygamy. Make polygamy legal and bigamy vanishes. I think some pre-nup requirements should be in place for anything other than two person unions (Divorce courts are Jerry Springer enough as it) but they shouldn't be illegal. I agree with that as well. Contrary to popular belief... polygamy would not be the "legal nightmare" people think it would be. All it would require is a simple one or two page (minimum... go for more pages if you want to) pre-nup. I have a pre-nup... I know how NOT hard they are to make.

and that means we're going to get a "gay sex is icky" opinion from Scalia in legalese!
Then he is perfectly free to refrain from, um, "indulging" . . . . just sayin' . . . .
and ETA: doesn't he realize "the ickyness" is going on all the time anyway? Whether he likes it or not?
Even more profound... I'm sure that gay people find the idea of his "straight sex"... icky.

Yours or mine, this or that, when two split is a hell of a lot easier than yours or ours or his and his and his and ours or any of the other possible permutations that might happen when you have multiple people staying and going. That is why I would demand that the people involved have it all figured out so a judge isn't pulling his or her hair out.

This is bad news for my friend. He wants to start a family. A surrogate has been found and arrangements have been made, but unless this ruling is overturned, he cannot be recognized as the child's parent.
I wasn't prepared for this ruling. I was prepared to be tapped as a witness and for labor to expand the house.

Oh, I didn't mean people couldn't make convoluted ones if they wanted to... just that convoluted ones aren't a requirement. Heck, mine is 7 pages long and I didn't even really have much in the way of assets when we got married... and The Wife didn't have any. A Poly pre-nup could be (not "must be"... "could be") as simple as: That's it. 3 points that CAN cover all the basics.

and that means we're going to get a "gay sex is icky" opinion from Scalia in legalese! It is icky, to a heterosexual. The local boys hangin at the only gas & eat within 5 miles of nothing over here refer to male homosexuals as rump rangers. They don't say anything about females so I guess it's OK by them, for the girl on girl sex. They never do- plenty of these people calling out 'homosexuals' have girl on girl porn in their stash.
I think it goes back to the general GOP hang-ups about sex- which comes from the religious right, and of course the men that are not comfortable enough in their own sexuality so they are threatened by homosexual men- maybe afraid they might get talked into something

My Father did it 3 times, My Mother did it 4 (once with her new husband, resulting in my half-brother).
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

There isn't- I walked in barged in when I was a kid and all I saw was dad move like the flash and mom was grabbing the covers- saw way too much. Had no idea what the hell was going on

Thank God I did not see that- all I saw was dad run to the bathroom and mom was laid out on the bed sporting a 70's bush Hard to forget when you are 10.

Those farm boys are so uncomfortable with male gay sex that you're liable to get dragged out back and get your ass kicked for trying to talk them into it.
