A group of self-identified “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and ransgender and allied activists, scholars, educators, writers, artists, lawyers, journalists, and community organizers” has released a statement explicitly endorsing “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner.” Got that? More than one conjugal partner.
...
In acknowledging that under the doctrine of “love makes a family,” what applies to “committed, loving same-sex couples” must apply to “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner,” the signatories to “Beyond Gay Marriage” exhibit the virtues of intellectual honesty and logical consistency.
And they let the cat out of the bag. What lies “beyond gay marriage” are multiple sex partners.
So throw that back at those who claim it's just a slippery slope argument. (Even if these people did not advocate the next step, the fact remains that once the traditional understanding of marriage is undermined and a new morality is erected on different principles concerning sex, the permissibility of polyamory is a logical consequence of that new morality.)
