Yeah, I agree with the guy. Allowing polygamy wouldn't, and shouldn't, remove the statutory rape, incest, and minimum marriage age laws. I just thought it was funny that after all the conservative commentators saying that gay marriage would lead to polygamy, the first lawmaker to actually propose polygamy is from the GOP.

But, I'm not gay so its possible I'm misrepresenting the gay point of view. I am open to disagreement.

Religious marriages (more often called commitment ceremonies) for gay couples have been conducted around the nation. The religious service does not require the civil paperwork ... you're just making a commitment before God(s)/Goddess(es).
My boss is a member of a Quaker Meeting here in PA that has had several gay couples presented before the Meeting.

I don't understand the surprise on your part ... Quakers, although traditionally fairly reserved, are raging peacenik liberal types ... at least they are here in PA, which is pretty much where they come from.

Plus, Quakers don't have much of a hierarchy, so whatever is OK with the members can't really be overruled by "the boss".

I'm not offended or anything. It was just a bizarre statement on the surface.
