A reader forwarded a memo sent yesterday to legislators by the state Conservative Party to remind them of its opposition to same-sex marriage and warn of dire reprecussions should the bill (introduced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo today) pass.

The consequences the Conservatives are suggesting are not limited to the political, either. Consider the memo’s final passage:

“This bill is a Pandora’s Box, once opened, marriage will decline as it has in European Countries that have adopted laws to redefine marriage. If same-sex marriage is adopted, government will have no authority to limit the number of partners or whom the partners will be.”

So, basically: Today, gay marriage. Tomorrow, polygamy.
