Can you just hear opponents to gay marriage and civil unions? – “Look, if we let them marry, pretty soon polygamy will be legal too.”

This is dated September 30th. I’m just seeing it now (I’m not so on top of polygamy news. Not a big fan.). Thanks, Jen, for pointing it out!

The Netherlands has legalized polygamy in all but name, granting a civil union to a man and two women.

Victor de Bruijn, 46, of Roosendaal “married” both Bianca, 31, and Mirjam, 35, in a ceremony Friday, the Brussels Journal reported.

“I love both Bianca and Mirjam, so I am marrying them both,” said de Bruijn who previously was married to Bianca.

The couple met Mirjam Geven two and a half years ago through an Internet chatroom, and eight weeks later Mirjam left her husband to live with Victor and Bianca.

After Mirjam’s divorce the threesome decided to marry, the Journal reported.

De Bruijn explained: “A marriage between three persons is not possible in the Netherlands, but a civil union is. We went to the notary in our marriage costume and exchanged rings. We consider this to be just an ordinary marriage.”

DeBruijn insisted there is no jealousy between the three partners because Mirjam and Bianca are bisexual.

“I think that with two heterosexual women it would be more difficult,” he said, noting he is “100 percent heterosexual.”

Only straight women get jealous?
