All of the above, I suppose. As for gay marriage, we have discussed this ad nauseum, so you probably know where I stand. If gays want the benefits of marriage I don't see many good reasons to object. I certainly don't believe it would cheapen my marriage. I am actually more repulsed by polygamy than gay marriage since I think it is sexist (as typically practiced) and makes women subservient to men. Nevertheless, it seems hypocritical to oppose one and not the other. But I am certainly not going to campaign for a legalization of polygamy.
