No one arguing for reassessment of marriage
No liberal on DU arguing for reassessment of marriage from the confines of monogamy are against the recent scotus decision.

1. monogamy vs polygamy are choices.
Sexual orientation is not a choice. There's a thread on this on the front page.

5. So why
So why is one right and the other not?
And now we get to the accidental truth...

8. It's not 'right or wrong' but rather which is more beneficial to society.
There is broad consensus that monogamous marriage is more beneficial than polygamous. This is something that society gets to determine for itself.
Do tell.
Except you lying hypocrites made sure that is exactly the rights we lost.
The facts are: queers are generally not just as good as heteros when raising families and by forcing this issue through the courts you took away society's right to decide what is best for itself within the context of self-government.
You have produced the exact opposite of everything you claim to want.
Some more accidental truths couched in lies...

14. Because not allowing same-sex marriage discriminates against a group of people
because of a fixed, biological trait.
Not legalizing polygamous marriages does not discriminate in that way; it merely doesn't give legal responsibilities/benefits to people involved in multiple relationships -- which is a practice, or a behavior, not a fixed, biological trait. No one is born polygamous
First of all, this "no one is born gay" bullshit needs to be put to rest.
There are such things as situational homosexuality (the infamous reputation of navies and prisons) and acculturated homosexuality (Sparta, Rome, primitive tribes, etc.) as well as the fact that a significant percentage of queers suffered sexual abuse as children, more so than their hetero peers.
For the queers that do just crave the same gender we see a stunning array of self-destructive behaviors over-represented in their population from rampant sex that would make even a bunny blush to substance and physical abuse.
It's not just another form of sexual expression.
Now another accidental truth...

18. If no one is born poly
Then no one is born monogamous. No difference. It would be wrong to preference one form over the other.
Gee willickers, conservatives have been making these exact same arguments since EVER.
We actually stopped to consider the ramifications of a proposed course of action.
But for the Proglodytes, the spoiled, spiteful children that they are; all they knew is that if it overturned the old ways then it must be good.
They know nothing but their hate for everything that produced the world in which they live in safety, comfort and repose.
One last rant...

6. Marriage equality was about a right granted which not everyone could enjoy equally due to
discrimination. The polygamy argument does not equate since it not a right enjoyed by some but denied to others due to discrimination. This isn't rocket science. They really aren't related issues.
FAGS DON'T HAVE FAMILIES!
They can try to play family but whether you believe in Jesus Christ or Charles Darwin the natural order of things is:
ONE MOTHER AND ONE MOTHER ****ING FATHER
Anything else is playing dress-up.
