I'll be honest, I am a big supporter of gay marriage under the principle that adults who love each other should be able to form families of whatever gender combinations they like. On it's face the principle of polygamy doesn't offend that notion.

Obviously there are many cases of abusive polygamous relationships (one old dude with a bunch of tween wives who had no choice in the matter). But there are a lot of abusive 2 person relationships as well - you can't judge the entire concept on the basis of the bad apples.

If three (lets say Canadian) adults wanted to form a family, and they were of sound mind, loved each other genuinely and equally - what is the problem?
