"Instead it becomes more a battle of recognition and blessing of the practice than about the rights of the couple."

Which has been my problem since the get go. It seems more than a legal issue, i'm all for the legal side of it, it seems the battle now is like you said a "blessing" of it.

I remember the argument being: "why should you care what you do if it doesn't affect you, let us live how we want." It just doesn't seem like that's good enough anymore.

Polygamy..jeez, that's a whole other matter. Okay, marry as many people as you want. You ever see it happening that one woman is gonna marry 10 guys? doubtfull. One guy marrying 10 women, yup. HOLD THE BOAT!!! Yeah this dynamic is gonna elevate feminism to a whole new level.

I forgot my point...it doesn't seem like anyone is arguing for the instituion anymore, it just seems like everyone is afraid to admit it.
