I heard there were Muslims who supported legalizing gay marriage not because they wanted it but because they hoped it would lead to legalized plural marriage. And that's part of the reason why I don't see poly marriage becoming legal. People supported gay marriage because they knew gay people: they were their friends and neighbors and relatives, who otherwise engaged in normative cultural practices. On the other hand, Muslims aren't normies and don't have the same relationships with the rest of society as gay people do. And people will see it as oppressive to women.
In Reynolds v United States, they note that marriage has always been monogamous going back in England from time immemorial. Precedent is a huge deal in the US court system.
Islam is a religion though. Just like Christianity. Globally Muslims are every bit as diverse as Christians, and there is a metric fuckton of them. I know that Muslims get a bad rap on this forum, but most Muslims here in the States are not of the [strap dynamite to yourself, throw on a Niquab and pull the string] variety. In fact, those whom I have encountered want their mosque, but appreciate the secular situation here. Unless you live in a rural community or work for a Megachurch, you probably brush shoulders with Muslims every day, and remain blissfully unaware of it.
Powerlevel here, but trust me, you all would be the first to hear about if I had encountered a real-live (literally?) "ka-boom" Muslim. Although we do seem to encounter our share of "ka-boom" Christians.
Actually one issue folks had with same-sex marriage was not so much with lesbians but with Gay men. As far as normie behavior is concerned, here is a joke ...
What does a lesbian bring on the second date?
A U-haul.
And gay men? What do they bring?
What second date?
Ok back to the possibility of state-sanctioned orgies ...
