Religion plays no part for me as I am an atheist of many years. <br /><br />two I am no bigot, to each his own as long as it is not forced upon me, a very unlikely possibility.<br /><br />I am aware of the multiple possibilities you refer too. So your answer is to have an open house and any and all things go. That is fine in the privacy of your home.

Take a cultural or physical anthropology course and you will see that "Marriage" has been had several variations including between one man and multiple women or one woman and multiple men.<br /><br />America doesn't even fit your definition.
