After Marriage Equality

After we get marriage equality, as it is now called, I believe that forward-thinking Americans will slowly realize that they need even more marriage equality.

There is a form of marriage, between consenting non-related adults, that is currently outlawed in all 50 states.

It is a form of marriage that is recognized in many traditional cultures, but it does not conform to the "one man, one woman" rule.

It has already emerged as an issue among the Unitarians, an issue that most Unitarians would prefer to keep under wraps, for now. But it has exploded onto the pages of the Washington Post.

I speak, of course, of marriage involving more than 2 people, often derogated as polygamy, but now rechristened as polyamorous union.

...as the issue of same-sex marriage heads to the Supreme Court, many committed Unitarians think the denomination should have a position, which is that polyamory activists should just sit down and be quiet. For one thing, poly activists are seen as undermining the fight for same-sex marriage.

"Just sit down and be quiet."

Oh, really?

And should they go to the back of the bus, as well?
Unitarian bigotry is hell.
