Is Polyamorous Marriage on the Horizon?
Loving More Press Release-7/1/15

On Friday, June 26th the Supreme Court made the landmark decision that effectively legalized same sex marriage in all fifty states. Following that decision, there has been a flurry of speculation as to whether this will pave the way for polyamorous and polygamous marriage. In Justice Robert’s dissent, he states “why wouldn’t the same “imposition of this disability,” ante, at 22, serve to disrespect and subordinate people who find fulfillment ...
