I don't see any good reason NOT to do that, just like i would never want gay people to be arrested for living with a same sex partner and calling it a marriage. I don't think the law should regulate what two or more people want to call their relationship and that's exactly what it's trying to regulate with anti-polygamy laws.

No, that was merely one of the several interesting issues brought up in the article. It's interesting because the instant I bring up something intelligent someone said about plural marriage there is all this hate and paranoia......probably because some of you know that the state actually has no real reason to recognize gay marriage; that it's not even a civil rights issues but a welfare one.

Good hell,

you are full of it

you asserted that we need fear ssm because polygamy was the next in, or in the words of zakuska slippery slope
