If homosexuality was to be allowed, shouldn't we allow polygamy and polyandry as well?

Grant the public their rights!

As long as it's completely consensual, I don't really care.

I wonder how many people would identify themselves as polygamous though? I mean, I know that we aren't necessarily biologically monogamous, but monogamy is so socially pervasive that it's the norm.

No it's not. Polygamy is a crime in every U.S. state.

I've met quite a few people in the last year or so who are polygamous (or rather, polyamorous, I don't know the exact difference). I was surprised at just how prevalent it is. As you say, monogamy is socially pervasive and "accepted", so a lot of polygamists I'm guessing wouldn't go around broadcasting the fact.

Wayyyyyyy different.

Incest has been proven to have a high chance to mess up resulting chidren. Even ignoring the moral issues, and the fact that in such cases and relationships, it is HIGHLY unlikely to be completely concensual, the chance of harm is too great, especially to outweigh the miniscule amount of ppl that will benifit from this and have a 'normal baby'.

Don't really see how the logic is the same for allowing incest and allowing polygamy........
