Correct, but the consequences can be regulated. The tax code is now some 1700 pages.
If men or women wish to marry several people they should be allowed. I should not have used the word "Marriage".
We all need to be discussing ways to make civil unions the answer.
As it stands now the courts, the medical establishments, the financial and estate laws make it very hard for a true loved one to take part.
Create civil unions, allow gays, and polygamists to have the rights we all have, but don't call it marriage.
