Whichever way polygamy may become lawful, commentators have long warned that as soon as homosexuality becomes acceptable there is no compelling reason to forbid polygamy. The left has ALWAYS wanted to destroy the institution of marriage.

The day in 1977 when Michelle Triola won a so-called "
palimony" suit against actor Lee Marvin, aided by the liberal Californication courts, I said, "Well, that's the end of marriage as we now know it in this country," and of course, everybody laughed.
The Communist goals for overtaking this country, read into the Congressional Record in 1963, most certainly included breaking down the traditional family and promoting every form of perversion and exception to any rule thereof. Now we are at a point of absolute chaos for children.

Utah Democrat AG Candidate Says Polygamy Must be Allowed Based on Repeal of Sodomy LawWell, the sodomy law has not been "repealed". Courts can't repeal laws, and we should stop calling their injunctions against enforcement acts of repeal.
That having been said, he's obviously right. If Lawrence v. Texas stands as precedent, there's NO WAY laws against polygamy can be enforced.

Democratic Attorney General candidate Jean Welch Hill has told Utah voters that polygamists should never have to fear being prosecuted for their religion. That's funny, I thought they were prosecuted for polygomy.

POLYGAMY IS A HIDEOUS MORMON PRACTICE Male teens are frequently dumped on the streets of places like Salt Lake City by polygamous Mormon sects because there aren't enough females to go around. Over 400 abandoned young men are kept by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in one school in Salt Lake City alone. When they graduate from high school, they are unceremoniously discarded back onto the streets. You can read more about this HERE.
Perhaps worse is the fate awaiting the girls. They are taken from their homes as teens (some as young as 14 or 15) and given as wives to men in their 50's to essentially serve as breed stock in order to call home spirit babies. You can read more about this HERE and HERE.
Polygamy is an embarrassment to modern Mormonism, in part because of:
- The terrible effect polygamy has on people.
- The teaching polygamy was essential to progress to the highest levels of godhood and this practice would never end.
For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory. (D&C 132:4,21)
- The obvious contradiction caused by condemnation of polygamy in other Mormon scripture.
Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord. (BoM Jacob 2:24)
- The exposition of Mormonism's prophet, Joseph Smith, as a serial statutory rapist (eleven of Smith's wives were between ages 14 and 20), a swinger (11 of Smith's wives were married and cohabiting with their husbands, while married to Smith), and a liar (Smith repeatedly denied he engaged in polygamy).
- The exposition of the Mormon Church as liars and vacillators as they denied-affirmed and prohibited-commanded-prohibited polygamy.
- The Mormon Church abandoned polygamy only after the U.S. Government disincorporated the Church and ordered its property seized. This raises the troubling trilemma of whether: (a) Mormonism's god was stupid and/or wrong when he proclaimed polygamy was everlasting, or (b) Joseph Smith was a false prophet when he received this revelation, or (c) the Church's current leaders are false prophets by placing material gain and political expediency ahead of divine revelation.

HERE and
HERE.
There is an excellent video (approximately 90 minutes long) on polygamy HERE. It is well worth the watch in my opinion. (Incidentally, the sponsor provides copies of the DVD without charge to LDS members)
I also strongly recommend you visit the Utah Attorney General's web page on polygamy HERE. You may also want to review the AG's Primer on polygamy (there is a link to the pdf document at the bottom of the first paragraph) with the understanding it is emotionally disturbing.

That case struck down the Texas sodomy law, saying it violated the due process clause and that the state had no justifiable interest intruding into the private lives of consenting adults.I think the equivalent to this case is a three-some or a group sex by consenting adults regardless of their marital status. I agree that the state should not involve on those actions. What she is arguing for, however, is polygamy marriage; not sexual activity.

I think polygamy would be a lot easier to accept then a couple of queers getting married and being allowed to take possession of children. The bigger issue is what queers do to children once they have possession.
