one same sex partner = many opposite sex partners?

Up here in Canada, the ol' gay marriage debate is brewin' again. The most recent bit of news today is that apparently Conservative party leader Stephen Harper accused Prime Minister Paul Martin of being pro-polygamy because of his strong action toward legalizing gay marriage.
'Justice Minister Irwin Cotler had earlier denied there was any link between the two issues. "We don't see any connection – I repeat, any connection – between the issue of polygamy and the issue of same-sex marriage," he said Thursday.'
Phew! For a second there I thought Stephen Harper might have had a good point, seeing as how the two issues are so closely related. Thanks for clearing things up, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler! (That is an actual quote, by the way.)
