People miss that gays were essentially asking to become part of the structure of traditional marriage.But I'm not sure people will see the fundamental qualitatiive difference between a non-conventional marriage and plural marriage. To some people it would just be more "tolerence." Except that traditional marriage was polygamous. More recent tradition held that marriage was monogamous but open— you could have one spouse but you could also have any number of affairs (at least if you were male). The notion of one-man-one-woman-fidelity-for-life is a very recent invention, and is only a "tradition" in the sense that anything commonplace when the baby boomers were growing up is now an American Tradition® the loss of which is Destroying Society™ forever. We're becoming a "Why Not?" culture. If it doesn't hurt anyone, then why not? That's exactly the culture we need to be. |
