CMV: If the standard for supporting LGBT-Marriage is “love is love” there should be support for polygamy as well to maintain ideological consistency.

This is not an underhanded criticism of LGBT Marriage. There are criticisms I could come up with for polygamy and am not stating my support for it. I am confused as to why people draw the line at multiple partners in a marriage being allowed legally/culturally if they believe consenting adults can do what they want. Some common criticisms about LGBT marriage are also used against polygamy. One example is that it’s not JUST the consenting adults because you have to think of the children in the relationship, but I could just as easily say for both types of marriage there’s nothing intrinsically going to hurt the kids and that we don’t decide if people can get married based on them having kids (they may not want kids or they may be infertile).

EDIT: “Legally” here means people wanting it decriminalized/unrestricted/equal to “traditional” marriage in the same way people say “legalize gay marriage.”
