145. Apples to oranges

I'd be opposed to my TEENAGE daughter being the wife of anybody, and I'd be opposed to my LEGAL AGED daughter being married to any "piece of shit".

But if my daughter wanted to marry into a polygamous household because she actually loved her fiancee, and if he was a good, decent man and they BOTH understood what they were doing, who the hell would I be to tell her no? How would opposing such a marriage be any less discriiminatory than opposing her marriage to another woman?

The polyphobia in this thread should be an embarassment to anyone who considers themselves liberal.
