Not sure why it bothers you so much if 2 men or 2 women want to live together
and have a legal document proving their connection.

What no one seems to give a toss about and which I think is far more
important is gay adoption. Many kids don't get a proper upbringing for whatever
reason but if the state has a choice of who to give a child to then its
IMO beholden to put them in a normal family - ie man & women. A child needs a
mother and a father, not 2 of one and zero of the other. Gay adopters should
be a last resort if there is simply nowhere else for the child to go. The
childs rights are paramount, the couples rights are irrelevant.

Except to say one cannot imagine the tsuris more than one wife would
bring. And, as for more than one mother-in-law, oivey.

You might want to ditch the faux jewish nonsense.
