Methamphetamine Abuse: Why Is Homosexuality O.K. and Polygamy Is Not?
Question by Keyser Soze: Why is homosexuality O.K. and Polygamy is not?
Inspired by a previous question
The two most prominent answers were;
A) Homosexuality does not cause anyone any harm.
B) Homosexuals do not choose to be homosexuals.
The argument that homosexuals will present to answer the obvious question, “what harm does polygamy cause?” is to say how polygamy often involves “abuse” or “child abuse” or “pedophilia”.
Surely there are some polygamists who have been involved in abuse in some form or another. Just as it is true that homosexuality often involves the spreading of extremely dangerous diseases as well as methamphetamine use.
But to argue that all polygamy causes harm because some praticioners engage in abuse, leaves the door open to argue that all homosexuality causes harm because some homosexuals spread disease and abuse drugs.
The whole idea that homosexuals do not choose to be homosexuals and are “born that way” can also be said of a polygamist. The only evidence that anyone can cite that they were born homosexual is to state that they have “always felt that way”. A polygamist can just as reasonably argue that they have always felt that a polygamous way of life “just felt right”.
Why is it that a homosexual’s FEELINGS and defense of their lifestyle carry more weight than those of a polygamist’s?
Note to sidesteppers; If your only answer is “polygamy is illegal”, keep in mind that homosexuality used to be illegal along with “inter – racial” marriage and not one of you who bring up legal or illegal would condem homosexuality should it be made illegal again.
