Polygamy - The having of a plurality of wives or husbands at the same time; usually, the marriage of a man to more than one woman, or the practice of having several wives, at the same time; -- opposed to monogamy; as, the nations of the East practiced polygamy.
Polygamy has long been discussed and been the topic of many articles and news broadcasts. Polygamy started with the early secretive Mormons. Many believe it has alot to do with gay rights and marriage itself. Many believe that opposite gender requirements for marriage is prejudice, exclusive, and an arbitrary denial of ones choices in love. Polygamists believe that the number restriction on marriage is just as discriminatory. Also many think the thought of Polygamy and Homosexuality completely different. Things like gay marriage and polygamy may be seen as a threat to traditional marriage. Or, they may see it as our cultures individualism and choice to branch out. Either belief or sexuality choice is being given a low amount of respect.
