An obvious leap in incrementalism by the libtards. Next, pedophilia and beastiality.
This was pretty much inevitable legally once same sex marriage became legal.
Once it became about “consenting adults” then it was anything goes and it will go as far as there is to go.
Nobody remembers that the Republican Party was founded not just on the principal of abolition of slavery. The other pillar of the Republican Party platform was the abolition of polygamy. Which was a big issue back then, especially with the Mormon church practicing it.
Utah was not allowed admission to the Union until 1896, long after it had enough population to qualify. It was only when it (and the Mormon church) outlawed polygamy that Congress agreed to admitting it.
But, as a nation we weren’t as ‘enlightened’ then as we are today. Who are any of us to pass any kind of judgement on alternative lifestyles? Men can ‘become women’ just because they feel like it. It’s the women who object to pretend women who are to be shunned, not the pretend women.
We are living in crazy times and God help those who try and point that out.
The reason the Republicans felt as strongly about abolishing polygamy as they did about slavery is because people in the United States who had the opportunity to actually observe the practice, found that it led to conditions no better than slavery for the women. But what did they know, right?
Mormon Utah couldn’t become a State without disavowing polygamy, IIRC.
I was told that, according to the Bible, if a man had sex with a virgin, even if he raped her, they were married in the eyes of God. That the Old Testament (I forget which book) said he had to take her for his wife. You raped her, you bought her.
This fellow also adhered to the belief that a daughter was under the rule of her father, until she married. And that she could only marry a man of her father's choosing.
I don't think he practiced this belief. Only that he wished that modern society adhered to such "Biblical rules."
Was his name Josh Dugger?

Problem with polygamy is that it is far more difficult to work out who’s entitled to what in a ten way marriage than it is in a two-person marriage.
Even if you’re against it on principle, a civil partnership between a man and a woman, or two men, or two women, looks the same from an enforcement perspective - Two people must consent to enter into the contract, while the contract is in place they are totally equal under the law, it takes two to tango, and if one leaves the partnership thru a legal process, the partnership is ended.
You cannot enforce that with poly. It’s too complicated.
What happens if Wives 2 and 3 are okay with New Wife 9, but wives 4 and 5 veto the extension of the marriage and the other wives sit on the fence? What if the patriarch can just order the other wives to fall in line?
Liberaltarians ought to be in favor of this ruling, if they are at all consistent.
The case involved three gay guys.
Per the article:
“If all that matters is love and everything else is a detail, why cavil at a number? Any number. It’s three now, but why not three thousand? Love is love, you know.”
One wife at a time was more than enough! Even too much at times!
A lot of this cultural idiocy will lose its appeal once one of two things happen:
1. It becomes clear that it doesn’t work by any objective measure.
2. It works so well that people figure out how to take advantage of it and turn it into a racket that makes or saves them a lot of money.
This is pretty accurate for purposes of anthropological history. The beliefs are common among middle eastern tribal people. Arab Islam incorporates them into their cultural beliefs. The man is an idiot if he wishes to enforce on even the most conservative contemporary Christian culture. People like him are dangerous fools as they provide the left with ready made strawmen to ‘prove’ believing Christians are psychopathic fanatics.
More chaos, less order, end of clarity and certainty, all things the left is doing to Western civilization as they deconstruct it and us.
Nobody knows anything or controls anything, not even within our own homes and lives and family relationships because even they are ruled by and defined and administered by outside forces and agencies.
Defining marriage out of existence.

It’s that bad
