How many homosexual households were there in 1960?
Because I just learned that This week’s Newsweek reports more than 500,000 polyamorous households in the U.S., and it strikes me that we are pretty much at exactly the same point on polygamy today as homosexuality was 50 or so years ago. There probably is massive untapped demand for polygamy among high status men and low status women. In a world without traditional gender or sexual norms, they are likely to get their way.
Though many advocates of gay marriage may not like the analogy to polygamy, I imagine that there are very few that wouldn't happily legally protect polygamous relationships as a cost of getting legal protection for homosexual relationships.
