Is #Polygamist #Marriage the next uphill battle? With its growth. - http://clapway.com/2015/08/20/polygamist-wedding-legalizing-gay-marriage-encouraged-legalization-of-polygamy-243/

1967, blacks are permitted to marry whites; 2015, men are permitted to marry men; what’s next? Legal analysts believe the next bill to be passed in this country could be legalizing polygamist marriage.

What is it?

Polygamist Marriage is the union including more than two partners. There is a more specific breakdown of Polygamy. Polygyny is a marriage between one man and multiple women. Polyandry is the union of one woman and multiple men. And lastly, Polyamory represents a marriage having both multiple husbands and wives. And despite the fact that Polygamist marriage in illegal in the United States, 30,000 to 50,000 people are living in plural families across the country.

Gays Encourage Polygamy

“Advocates of same-sex marriage mock the musings of those who wonder if polygamy is the next gay marriage. They accuse those who ask the question of claiming that “the sky is falling in” and of listing “all the horrible consequences that will inevitably flow from the misguided views of the majority,” said Joe Wolverton, II, J.D., writer for TheNewAmerican.com. Mainly Christians against gay marriage see the possibility of the legalization of polygamist marriage in America. Christians believe the relaxed and open culture Americans will lead to polygamy in America.

The Happy Polygamist: Legalize Polygamy

Bill Donahue, President of Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, makes a statement opposing the possibility of polygamy in the U.S. and agreeing with William Baude’s (opinion writer for the NY Times) idea that the legalization of same-sex marriage has not encouraged a future for polygamist marriage.

“Mr. Baude concludes by saying that ‘once we abandon the rigid constraints of history, we cannot be sure that we know where the future will take us.’ It would be more accurate to say that once we abandon the logical constraints of natural law, we cannot be sure what the future holds,” said Donahue. Baude explains that the majority of the population in which approve of same-sex marriage, do not support polygamist life.

Polygamist Wedding: Has Legalizing Gay Marriage Encouraged the Legalization of Polygamy? - Clapway

A heartwarming tale for a Sunday night. - http://clapway.com/2015/07/12/even-with-terminal-cancer-love-gives-patient-the-best-day-of-his-life-235/

Having terminal cancer is not easy to deal with, even when the disease is treatable and the chances to become healthy again are quite high. Being told your cancer is in a terminal phase, is an information that steals even the last drop of happiness from people.

But a recent gesture and the overall attitude of a man who faces this problem, should be considered to be a lesson for many people, who aren’t able to enjoy the happiest moments of their lives even though they are healthy.

The Terminal Cancer Didn’t Stop Him from Enjoying His Wedding

Keith Borum married Nina Scott in a ceremony held at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip while the hospital staff assisted this fast-organized wedding.

Keith Borum is dealing with terminal diagnosis due to having non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. At the beginning, his chances of survival existed, but after battling the disease for 18 months, the doctors told him that his cancer would be terminal.

Despite the Pain and Discomfort Given by Terminal Cancer, Keith Showed Happiness

The man told the hospital staff that he had hoped to buy an engagement ring for Nina, who has been his girlfriend for three years. Since he wasn’t in the position to do anything alone, the hospital staff had to give him a hand. The nurses gathered the money needed in order to make Keith’s dream reality.

In addition to the wedding rings, there were also donated flowers, as well as a wedding cake.

The ceremony was held in his hospital room while everybody was dressed in medical gowns, in order to protect Keith from getting an infection.

Even though Keith was in a difficult situation since the disease made him so weak that he couldn’t even walk, during the wedding, he was able to feel happiness, enjoying every moment, even making a couple of jokes.

Facing Terminal Cancer, Keith Had “The Best Day of His Life”

When asked how he was feeling, the groom said that it was the best day of his life.

Even if Keith’s marriage won’t last as long as everyone would hope, his attitude was more than a loving gesture towards his girlfriend. His gesture can be an example for everyone, of how to enjoy all the happy moments in life.

Even With Terminal Cancer, Love Gives Patient "The Best Day of His Life"

Forget bridesmaids. - http://clapway.com/2015/07/05/5-reasons-why-you-should-say-yes-to-a-bridesman/

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to be a part of one of my girlfriends’ wedding next summer. I was extremely excited and automatically assumed I would be in the groom’s party, you know because I’m a guy. I was wrong. While looking at my friend’s wedding website, I noticed that I was listed as a bridesman. I chuckled a little. I’ve never actually seen or heard of a bridesman, but then I remembered that it’s 2015 and America has come a long way.

My friendship with my girlfriend is so strong that she felt no hesitation to go against the norm. Our friendship triumphed over anti-gay fanatics and religious control freaks. According to an article in Evolutionary Psychology, straight women and gay men make the perfect BFFs because they don’t have the issue of sexual tension and are not in competition for mates. And for that same reason, they are also in the perfect position to give each other honest relationship advice.

The article states that women tend to have a positive body image and feel appreciated for their personality when they have a gay BFF. The bond between a straight woman and a gay guy has been proven by science that their friendship is the most desirable. Gay guys make the best bridesmen and here are five reasons why you should say yes to a bridesman:

1. He Adds a Little Spice to Your Wedding

Your bridesman will definitely add something special to your wedding. He will make it modern, unique, and most importantly memorable.

2. He is YOUR Friend

Your G.B.F is your friend, not your fiancee’s friend. If you and your fiancee get into a fight, your G.B.F. will definitely take your side.He deserves to strut his stuff down the aisle to make his way next to you and your other best friends.

3. He Really Rocks Those Colors

Let’s be real, your G.B.F. rocks those bridesmaid’s colors better than the bridesmaids do.

4. He Brings the Rager to Your Bacherlorette Party

He will get you the best looking strippers, I mean strippers for your party. Magic Mike anyone?

5. Cold Feet, He Can Fix That

Even though he is losing you as his down to go out and stalk hot boys friend, he will remind you that you are in love and you are making the right decision.
