No. The banning of Polygamy was a civil rights victory for the US.

If everyone involved consents I don't see why not.

If I posted that, it would be reported for racism.

No (except in Utah), but simply for the same regions I oppose gay marriage.  I don't see any reason for it to be any different from other non-traditional marriages (I think they should all be illegal, but it is certainly inconsistent to have some legal and some illegal).

I think the definition of marriage should be left up to the individual and not to the government.

I don't support non consensual polygamous marriages (such as the FLDS group) which often marries off teenage girls to much older men, but if everyone consents and is of legal age I don't see much of a problem with it. Not that I don't think it's kind of strange but it's not my decision.

Polygamy is banned by the Mormon Church now anyways, so why should it be legal in Utah?

And why should gay marriage be illegal because it's "non-traditional" while certain religious groups be exempt from anti-polygamy laws?

There's no slippery slope they said; that's a fallacy they said...

The very purpose of marriage is that two halves come together to create one union. Polygamy is not marriage.

I agree as a personal definition but not according to some people. And that's fine. Even if I disagree I don't like to regulate other people's behavior.

No -if you want to have sex with someone other than your wife or husband (with mutual consent), that's what swingers clubs are for.  All the benefits without the legal complications of polygamy.
