...that's spurring some opposition to this topic, I think.

It's been such an obvious — and dishonest — rightwing meme for so long, people are wise to be suspicious.

And it's built on a falsehhood, as if affirming the right of all couples to wed inevitably leads to plural marriage somehow.

It doesn't.

Gay and lesbian couples have simply gained access to an existing legal and societal institution, marriage.

There is no existing legal and social institution for intimate plural relationships, here in the United States.

Perhaps there will be someday.

But it will require the creation of new structures, many of which are not easily inferred from what exists for couples.

And that effort, in my view, will best be led by people in or wishing to be in plural relationships, separate from the current rightwing inspired discussion.

Because the rightwing doesn't really give a damn about what's best for the poly community.

They're just out to puke on the LGBT community in this time of celebration, with the same old cynical lie about "redefining" marriage.

The supreme court justices have not redefined marriage. They have reaffirmed it.
