    I mean yeah, it means marriage to multiple people, which is illegal in most of the world. Polyamory is having multiple relationships.

      and marriage to multiple people is effectively what i want, i want as many partners as we can make work all “married” to each other.

      Obviously it’s not tremendously simple to manage, but that’s the ideal. In reality you’d presumably have varying degrees of people being into each other but as long as everyone’s fine with it and no one feels limited by the group fidelity it’s fine.

      “marriage” is often just a cover word for having sex though, especially in conservative circles where they avoid the word “sex”.

        Personally, thanks to polygamy’s history and recency to current times, yes, I think being married to multiple people is a bad idea. I’m for keeping it illegal until we can be sure it won’t be used like that again. I don’t think now is that time.

          i really don’t like that reasoning, that sounds way to close to the reasoning used to make gay marriage illegal.

          Who are you to decide whether i get to marry the people i love?

            And I don’t think it’s valid at all to compare the two. Polygamists were never “oppressed”, they were the ones doing the oppression (of their wives).
