Over 130 years ago a decision was made that criminalized the practice of polygamy in the United States.

AH no
Polygamy was always against the law...
it was called “unlawful cohabitation”
What happen 130 years ago in 1890 was a Mormon leader decided that he berrer pretend to end polygamy amongst Mormons or the US government would put him and his fellow serial adeulterers in prison and confiscate their lands and belongings..
However that Mormon leader called a “prophet” continued to have morte than one wife until his death as did several others...
In fact that same Mormon “prophet” “married” another “wife” about 1895 a few years after his so called “proclamation...”
The Mormon doctrine for polygamy D&C 132 is still a viable belief in the Mormon religion...
Mormons believe that a male must have several wives in order to become a “god” and rtherefore go to the Mpormon afterlife and live in the highest “heaven” as god over his own planet..
Moermons believe that when trheir mormon jesus returns he will initiate polygamy again...
The Mormon candidate for POTUS Williard Mitt Romney and his cousin Jopn huntsman are the descendants of a polygamous family...
When Romney was asked about his grandfathers many wives he said polygamy was awful but he never denounced it or saiud that it should be unlawful...
Like the Moslems of whom “Thirty nine percent said they would engage in a polygamous marriage if it were legal in the United States.”, about the same percentage of Mormons said the same thing just a few years ago...
Tens of thousands of Mormons living in Utah still practice polygamy today...
As long as its not homosexuality, the Mormons dont seem to see the practice of polygamy as deviant sex...
THe LORD God of the Christian Bible condemns polygamy along with homosexual activites equally...
and both have always been against the law in the United States..
There, fixed it for you, as you intentionally left something out.
“THe LORD God of the Christian Bible condemns polygamy along with homosexual activites equally...”
I’m unaware of where the Bible vigorously condemns polygamy as strongly as it does homosexuality.
If it is legal for butt-pluggers to marry, then it is hard to explain why polygamy is outlawed.
