(on a story about homosexual men divorcing in order to become a threesome with a third man)
Links to enormous lists?? Whazzat now?

There is a really cool crystal ball we can peer into to see where permanent relationships might be headed-- it's called real life. There are probably some stable consenting adult relationships out there with three partners, who knows, possibly even four. I don't doubt a good percentage of the old Mormon marriages were happy and stable.
But do you know why you don't have to worry about the slippery slope of five people, a frog, a chair leg and a vacuum cleaner demanding marriage rights? Because it never fucking happens! And if it ever did, it wouldn't last long enough to get to the county clerk's office.
There is no slippery slope Trump. Ethical non-monogamy is not something that is morally wrong, nor are open relationships and swinging.
While I'm monogamous myself, I don't see the problem with people who choose this sort of relationship style.
Polyfidelity is what you're looking for. Triad/quad relationships are not uncommon, nor are the v/hinge type relationship.
Hey Trumpy, why don't you stand upside down with your head in a bucket of piranha fish?
God told me to tell you. And he'll be plenty mad if you disobey him.
It doesn't matter if it's an isolated incident or not.
If it's the divorce you're complaining about, hetero couples have been divorcing for a lot longer.
William Marston, creator of Wonder Woman and one of the fathers of the polygraph, lived happily together with his wife and another woman. The women kept on living together after his death.
This was in the 1930s/40s. So don’t pretend that it is something new or something exclusive to gay people. And yet somehow straight marriage managed to survive as an institution.

Let's see you ACTUALLY do this Trump. Bullshit slippery slope arguments are not justified by pretending they're actually occurring.
This is a huge fundie failing, once you accepted unproven myth then you'll pretty much accept anything if you hear about it a few times especially if it suits your sects dogma.
Listening to the Atheist Experience show demonstrates this a lot.
Future tense junior. Future tense. Try to keep up little one. Don't tell me YOU didn't see this coming?! And you actually believe this will be just an isolated incident?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...the rectal fragrance of supercilious smug. You must be dizzy from the fumes.

Can you please explain what is morally wrong with three (or more) consenting adults choosing to share their lives?
Don't bother reaching for the bible, either, unless you can explain exactly why it condones multiples wives in the old testament. (Of course, "old book says so" is not a valid reason anyway.)
And you actually believe this will be just an isolated incident?
Yes, I do. This is only one incident, and I don't see statistics showing that this is a common occurrence. Even if it were, who cares? They're all consenting adults, and it just frightens you when people don't conform to a Leave it to Beaver-style family.
See what coming? One story is not a tidal wave of homosexual threesomes.
People can form threesomes without getting married, ya know. Besides, NO-ONE is allowed to marry two people, so that law is constitutional. But if men are allowed to marry a woman, then women ought to have the same right, or they are discriminated against due to gender, which IS unconstitutional.
We're not surprised at the level of stupidity to which you have sunk, no. Not any more.
No, not an isolated incident, but a rare occurrence.

1) It's disingenuous to imply that acceptance of gay marriage leads to polygamy. Polygamy remains illegal, so it's premature to establish the one leading to the other.
2) So what is wrong with polygamy, if the parties involved are all consenting adults? The legal paperwork would be daunting, but that seems like a thin excuse to restrict civil rights.

2004: "Gay marriage won't lead to polygamy!"
It was more like:
Gay marriage will lead to polygamy, therefore gay marriage should be banned.“
@1874392
I personally see no harm in allowing non-monogamous relationships. I'm not obsessed with "purity" this and that.

In 1830: "Abolition of slavery won't lead to blacks voting!"
There comes a time once in a blue moon where someone with a wonderful command of the facts argues semi-intelligently against progressive positions. Of those exceedingly rare moments, your post is not an example.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
