"Going Dutch" Gets a Whole New Meaning

Who couldn't see this one coming?

[The Netherlands has legalized polygamy] in all but name. Last Friday the first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.

I'm looking forward to seeing Gay America support polygamous marriages with the same zeal and verve to which they pursued same-sex marriages. Anything less would be—dare I say it?—hypocritical.

Lost in all of the hoopla is why so many still feel the need for a government to sanction and validate their personal commitments to one another.
