It is a known fact that Americans predominantly determine how people eat, drink, dress, talk, study and love in most parts of the world. If they say one-man/one-wife, many will follow blindly. If they say man can marry a fellow man and two women can do same, many will follow them.
So now that an American is pushing for polygamy which we Africans had but lost to them, are we going to return to our culture if and when America legalizes polygamy? Your guess is as good...
A Montana has said he was inspired by last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife.
Mr. Nathan Collier and his wives, Victoria and Christine, applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimize their polygamous marriage. Montana, like all 50 states, outlaws bigamy, holding multiple marriage licenses.
County clerk officials initially denied Collier's application, then said they would consult with the county attorney's office before giving him a final answer.
County chief civil litigator Kevin Gillen has however said he is reviewing Montana's bigamy laws and expected to send a formal response to Collier by next week.

"It's about marriage equality," Collier told The Associated Press. "You can't have this without polygamy."

Mr. Collier said he would sue the state if his application is denied because if allow gay you must also by all means allow those who want to practice polygamy so as to marry the many single ladies around.
We are waiting for the final result!
