I don't have any issue with polygamy. If people are happy and aren't hurting anyone it's not my place to say if they're right or wrong.
I am, of course, opposed to the idea of sex with minors and forced sex. Those aren't inexcusable and should not be tolerated.
Let's not suggest that these are always one and the same, though. I know of several polygamous relationships that are very happy and healthy. In those cases it seems reasonable to me to allow those people to continue to be happy and to flourish in their collective relationship(s?). Condemning polygamy seems kinda prudish and closed minded. I wonder if polygamy will become the new "gay" in the coming years where polygamous rights are fought for. If that is the case, expect me to fight for what I believe is right, just as in the cases of homosexual rights.
