Gay marriage = polygamy: Andrews

They're all coming out of the closet now. Liberal wackos espousing their prejudices. We've had the gay marriage = bestiality thing. Now we have the gay marriage = polygamy thing. The same arguments I've seen online coming from American anti gay marriage advocates, who claim that gay marriage will lead to polygamy. May I present wacko number two, Kevin Andrews:

Kevin Andrews, previously a minister of the Howard gov for many years, has evidently spent 20 years studying the marriage issue. Obviously from a partisan position, as this is the crap he's come out with in his new book:

He writes that if same-sex unions are recognised by civil law, ''other arrangements can also be recognised. Once the state can no longer insist that marriage involves a commitment to a member of the opposite sex, there is no ground (other than superstition) for insisting that marriage be limited to one person rather than several.''

He took 20 fuckin years to come up with that bullshit? What an old bloody fossilised moron.

Interesting poll at the bottom of the article BTW.

And this is a reply from the other side, hardly needs saying really as Andrew's comments are so devoid of reality.  

Australian Marriage Equality national spokesperson Rodney Croome dismissed Mr Andrews claims that legalising gay marriage could lead to multiple partners. 

"The reality is that marriage equality strengthens families, which is something Mr Andrews, as a spokesperson on families, should support," he said. 

"Instead he is spreading the kind of myths and misinformation that harms the families of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people." Read more
