American pay television network TLC will start a reality series called “Sister Wives” next month. It is about a polygamous (polygynous) family in Utah. Since marriage law in the United States doesn’t recognize that someone can be married to more than one person, this is not polygamy in the legal sense. But it is polyamory.
Will TLC portray polyamory with respect? We’ll wait and see. Perhaps some people who currently are against full marriage equality will reconsider their prejudice if they see that these are loving, functional families.
