You've been on HBO boards, maybe you've been to the Big Love boards. There were many people who joined up to talk about their own poly-relationships. There are people who feel they have enough love for more than one person, and that they in turn need more love than one person can provide.

It's definitely not for me, but who am I to say who can't marry.

As long as they live within the rules of civilized society. And these rules should also be doing more to protect the battered wives and children in mono-relationships too.
The issue and question raised here is....Why just "Legalise" or Recognise Same Sex partners and not go further to include multiple partners. The simple answer is law. The moral answer is subjecting a single sex to be subject to servitude towards one other. It is moraly wrong to allow that to happen, but American Law backs that up. Civil responsibility-do you want a society that allows legally sanctioned possibilities like Harems. There are ethical questions about a single individual obtaining control over many others, finaincialy, physicaly, emotionaly, and phsycologicaly.
