To protect “traditional marriage” is supporting Polygamy

When Temple University Political Science Professor Gary Mucciaroni looked across the spectrum of gay rights issues, he saw a puzzle: Why have gays and lesbians been so successful in achieving some of their goals and not others? He contends that rather than following a traditional civil rights path, LBGT rights groups may be more successful if they work through more democratic arenas by personalizing their stories and reaching out to fellow citizens.
