    Well I can't love two people - others might be able to.

    If you mean "how dare you speak out against people who wish to love more than one person", I believe I said - do what you want, but personally, I wouldn't.

    so 6 years in relationship means that you know when people will be 40 yo virgins or something

    I am against polygamy. My opinion is that a man should only have one wife

    The definition of 'husband' excludes 'in relation to his husband [or male lover]', therefore it is grammatically incorrect to have same sex marriages.

    Re: More than one wife?

    It's just plain wrong.
    When you marry, you pledge to be loyal to your partner, however if you have another partner whether they know about each other or not is just wrong.

    If you are no longer attracted in anyway to your partner then divorce, but it's not right to have more than one partner imo
    I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

    When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    Well as a Catholic, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. However I am not going to disrespect a man if he decides to have a husband or a woman if she decides to have a wife. I just don't agree with it

    Re: More than one wife?

    Disrespect means 'an expression of lack of respect', you don't respect that relationship as valid, so you are disrespecting those in same sex relationships.

    Re: More than one wife?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it if everyone in this sort of relationship is fine with it.

    I personally wouldn't like to be in a polygamous relationship, and if my husband spoke to me about him getting a second wife, I don't think I would be too happy.
    I won't give up on us

    Why can't you be loyal to multiple partners? And on what grounds are you labelling things as "just wrong"?

    This.

    Although perhaps I would go beyond everybody being just ok with it, i think there should be an obligation to treat everybody equally financially (and you would hope emotionally as well)

    Then why not people that want to be polygamous (I get that it isn't a choice, but still).

    When I read "as a Catholic" I nearly vomited.

    Being gay isn't a choice but being terrible (Catholic) is, so I have much less respect for you.

    But it does effect people when someone is restricting the rights of others.
