You may have noticed that virtually every proposed state and federal constitutional amendment to preserve traditional marriage contains language that declares marriage to be a legal relationship between one man and one woman.

The reason it is necessary to use those specific words is to guard against the all too predictable liberal push for polygamy and polyamorist rights that is now clearly on the horizon.

Most of us know that polygamy has historically been allowing a man to have more than one wife. Polyamorists are persons who maintain more than one kind of sexual relationship. These aberrant relationships can be heterosexual, homosexual, or several of each.

The American Family Association reports that polyamorists now "are coming out of the closet" just like homosexuals had done. Local polyamorist organizations have been formed in New York, Phoenix, and Atlanta. The New York group has a Poly Pride Day each year in Central Park.

This is all the more reason that marriage amendments should be adopted in state constitutions and in the U.S. Constitution.
