As if to validate the contention of McGill law and ethics professor Margaret Somerville that same-sex marriage has legitimised polygamy, along comes Alan Ferguson, writing in the Vancouver Province.
Having collectively decided that two people of the same gender can be joined in matrimony, on what sound basis could we now decide that people must necessarily restrict themselves to one wife, or one husband, as the case may be?
Polygamy is quietly practised by an unknown number of Muslims in this country, for whom sharia law permits up to four wives — and by others of no religious persuasion at all. And the TV show Big Love proves there is an audience for a polygamy-based storyline.
Some Muslims and a few atheists/agnostics practice polygamy, and an American TV show that whitewashes polygamy has gained an audience, so obviously polygamy is just fine.
