Of course, I'm personally fine with gay marriage, and would have no problems with polygamy either.

<meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off"><div id="yiv2047146162">Well, if he argued that polygamy and gay marriage are similar, then that is just another fallacious argument. It is like arguing that we can give every adult the right to vote because that would lead to some folks voting more than once. We would be powerless to avoid that! <br>
