Does same-sex marriage lay the groundwork for polygamy? Justice Roberts certainly seems to think so in the gay marriage dissent, which actually inspired the Montana threesome to give it a go.
But at this story points out, polygamy has some major hurdles to overcome. There are a number of traditional and logistical reasons, but those might could be overcome.
But the two big barriers as of now are these:
A. Polygamy has only 16 percent support in a recent poll of the American people. Obviously, a LOT more folks are going to have to come around to the concept. Gay marriage didn't really get rolling past a dozen or so states until it started topping 50 percent approval.
and B. The biggest barrier of all is its big difference with gay marriage. As this story gets to in its last line: "Polyamory is a choice; homosexuality is not."
