    wtf is this poly-shaming

    We have reasons to hate this bastard, and him not falling in line with the Church’s archaic definition of marriage isn’t one of them

    • He’s not “polygamous”, his wife didn’t know and he claimed he wanted to be monogamous. That’s not being poly, that’s being a cheating bastard.

      There’s nothing wrong with consensual polygamy. That’s not what went on here.

      There is no poly shaming going on here. The article makes clear that:

      1. Kennedy was not poly with his ex wife. He just repeatedly cheated on her.
      2. He invoked the term to try and justify his behavior. And he is the only person here who made any moral judgement about it - he called it “wrong”.
