>From a tactic standpoint, no one has ever presented an effective
strategy for linking gay marriage to polygamy, although I suppose
every little bit helps. Progress will most likely be made by
libertarians and those who link their polyamorous relationships to
their political pursuits. This is not by any means a priority
within the gay political movement, it is generally viewed as a private
life matter, one that is supported, but one that is not brought into
the public policy sphere.
